It indicates that it's a civilian ship that's just being used in military service out of necessity. I'm pretty sure an "xAP" is just a passenger liner with a few guns bolted onto the decks. The AKs and APs without the "x" are true military auxiliary ships. In game terms, the ships without the "x" have better amphibious load/unload rates (the "x"s are 42% slower) and better damage control.
EDIT: after checking the manual, I think what the "x" actually stands for is the lack of a military commission.
