He means that people appear like somebody on the surface, but they are really not that person. It all has to do with being away from society and savagery.
Since they boys are away from society, law, order etc, they can do whatever they want to on the island. There are no adults at all and they are stuck on a deserted island. Therefore, they can do whatever they want.
After being there long, especially Jack gets very savage-like. This is what Ralph means, in England Jack was a choir boy. However, after being away form a normal society too long, people's inner character comes out and it might not have been what you thought they were, in this case, evilness.
