Most review sites including IGN said the PS3 version had better graphics than the 360 version and it continues to have a higher Game Rankings score right up until today. Many articles were posted last year in which Rockstar said the 360 version was the one that was holding up the game's development and it is still doing so as no released date has been set for the 360's fabled exclusive downloadable content for GTA IV.



"Is that why the game ran at a higher resolution and frame rate with AA on 360 with no install and the PS3 version ran at a lower resolution and frame rate with no AA even with the benefit of an install? Is that also why screens of the 360 were shown last year and screens and videos of the PS3 version didn't show up until this year?"

 

Again, there were no screens or video footage of the PS3 version of the game shown until this year. Up until that point all the screens and video were from the 360 version. If the 360 version was holding the game back the opposite would have been true.

As for your graphics point, you are right that a lot of reviews preferred of the PS3 version but the 360 version is technically superior. The game runs at a higher resolution with a higher rate and AA. This puts more strain the hardware. Especially considering that unlike the PS3 version, everything has to be streamed from the disk.
