No you are "new to multitouch" in the sense that you haven't tried to implement multitouch yourself, conducted a user study on multitouch learning curves and intuitiveness, or used a real life application exhibiting the multitouch you claim to understand for a prolonged length of time.

Seeing one video qualifies you perfectly for being "just introduced to multitouch."
