Not exactly.
Structure changed slightly.
Check /gallery3/themes/ folder for more info and sample of creating a new theme

To start creating your own theme, simply just copy the default theme and rename the directory.
Done. Now hack away.
You can edit theme.info to change the name of the theme if it's an "admin" or "site" theme add a description, etc
Create a new screenshot for it when it's done, etc.
Documentation will be forth coming.

I don't have any experience in this . complete noob ..is this basically just html and css? can I use a web editor like bluefish?

It is PHP based, you would find mix of PHP and HTML there.
More to it, page on the web-site would be a combination of several files in the view folder
Whenever you see something like this <?= new View("header.html") ?> (part of page.html.php) it would mean that here would be inserted content of header.html.php file.
You would start from page.html.php and then drill down for each mode
You can use Bluefish since it does support PHP

/themes/default/views
Copy the default directory and rename that so you have something like
/themes/mytheme
edit /themes/mytheme/theme.info and change the name from "Gallery Default" to something else, like "My Cool Theme"
edit the pages in /themes/mytheme/views/ to your hearts content.
