Yes, that's right. It's all text files.

Short version: Copy the toolbars file from LYXLIB/ui/stdtoolbars.inc to 
HOMELIB/ui/stdtoolbars.inc, then edit that file. Here, LYXLIB is your 
'system library' directory and USERLIB is the user library. Both of 
these can be found from Help> About LyX. The local file will then be 
loaded instead of the system file. The syntax should be relatively 
clear. Ask if not. See Help> LyX Functions for all the different 
functions you can assign to buttons, etc.

You can both modify the standard toolbars this way and create new 
toolbars. You can also do this with menus (stdmenus.inc) and context 
menus (stdcontext.inc).
