The autopoint program is part of GNU gettext, a set of tools for translating programs into different languages.

In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and later, it can be installed with

apt-get install autopoint

as you rightly assumed. In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, however, the autopoint program was part of a monolithic gettext package. So you should

apt-get install gettext

instead.
