If the preview is not available in your language, then you will need to reinstall all your apps from the beginning.Just to clarify, apps won't have to be reinstalled for the Preview release, but they will need to be reinstalled when the final 8.1 release is out.
It's actually only partly coming through the Store though. You get a small update in Windows Update under "Optional Updates" that then triggers the Preview release to show up in the Windows Store.
I suspect that the final release will be in Windows Update as you say though.
