No, Android applications can be written in C/C++. There is a limited set of
JNI bindings in place (the core of the Bishop library Troy mentioned
earlier) to facilitate creation of Android apps that rely directly on Sword
instead of on JSword.

Windows Phone 8 apparently uses Silverlight, not C#. I know for a fact we
don't have Silverlight bindings. Several people have undertaken to create
C# wrappers in the past, but I don't believe any of those attempts were
long-lived.
