Yes, appimage uses squashfs and then compresses it with gzip or something else. This is done, for example, with the command: appimagetool --comp .../squashfs-root /tmp/my-appimage.appimage (see: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit) But appimagetool is not available for all distros; for example I couldn't find it for Fedora. Also linuxdeploy is used to create/compress an appimage, but reading the manual I don't really understand how to do it...
