Is it true that thunder is the sound lighting?
Yes. Thunder is the sound of lighting hitting the ground. Light travels much faster than sound so you see the lighting first and hear the thunder afterwards. If you see the lighting and hear the thunder right after, then you are closer to wear the lighting struck.

Does thunder always mean lightning?
Generally, yes. Lighting and thunder originate at the same time, but since light travels much faster than sound, you see the lightning before you hear the thunder. The one exception is if the lighting strikes very close, within a few hundred feet. In this case you see the lightning and hear the thunder at essentially the same time.
Does thunder happened first?
No, thunder reaches the observer after they see lightning.
Why do you hear lighting long after you see the flash?

Thunder itself is not visible. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of heated air surrounding a lightning bolt. Lightning, on the other hand, is visible and is the actual electrical discharge that produces the light we see during a storm.
