yes
No, to purchase paid content you will need to have money in your Account (from giftcards) or your account attached to a credit card. To purchase free content you do not need to have a credit card or gift card (for example, free apps from the App Store) Just ensure you make an Apple ID through the App Store and not through the iTunes store or else a credit card will be required.
As a consumer, you don't start out with a 'freebee' or credit balance. Most App Store accounts have a credit card attached to them, and are limited only by the credit card's credit limit. If you use an Itunes or App Store gift card, it is a credit based on the value printed on the card. As a developer, you only make money when a paid app sells. You get 70% of the selling price you set. Apple gets the other 30% for hosting the app, approval and quality control and account management.
In the iTunes or App Store apps there is a Redeem button at the bottom of the page which is used to add an iTunes gift card.
An app store code is a code that you redeem when you buy an Itunes gift card, located on the back of the card. The codes can be for any dollar ammount from $15-$200 depending on what the gift card value is. You can buy Itunes gift cards at most retail stores (vons, CVS, etc.)
iTunes gift cards and App Store gift cards can both be used to buy apps.
You go on itunes store and click the little house on the middle top of the screen. Then you look at the right and click Redeem. Lastly put in the number on the back of your gift card. You hve to scratch the thing to get to the numbers.
