Yes it is the number of gear-teeth, the same applies for the number of teeth on sprockets or belts. You can also just type in the reduction that you want say 1:3 etc.

Some gearboxes have more than one stage, but take it as the driving gear is before the reduction and the driven gear is after, so the driven gear should be rotating slower than the driving gear.

Yes the driving gear in a single stage gearboxes is the gear on the motor's output shaft

Here is an example of what it should look like for the reduction stages of a 10.71:1 Toughbox Mini or Micro(the stock ratio):
