Probably not since Apple doesn't license iOS to anyone else and solely controls it.

  Therefore, if Google and all the Android OEMs merged, no antitrust action would be taken with regards to Android apps. Is that correct?

    You're assuming that the action was based on policy, not on politics.

  Does that matter? I would think it would have to do with market share more than any licensing. iOS has ~28% share in the EU. http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/europe http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/europe

    It matters, the EC defined the market as "licensable mobile operating systems", and not "mobile operating systems". If they were looking at "mobile operating systems", their antitrust ruling would make no sense.
