Tim: yes. It's heirarchical - think of this as a rough analogy:
"Sessions" in tmux can be thought of as separate terminal windows on your desktop.
"Windows" in tmux can be thought of as tabs in one terminal window on your desktop.
"Panes" in tmux are effectively splitting a single tab in your terminal into multiple CLIs. Each tmux window can have it's own configuration of tmux panes (which, as Anton points out, are persistent).
Here's a screenshot of session [0]; window 4 (of at least 17) showing 4 panes (by the looks of it: remote tmux (showing irssi), 2 bash prompts and a music player (an mpd client perhaps?)).

Hope this helps,
Benjie.

I had never heard of tmux before this thread started, but am I to assume that tmux is a command line tool which allows you to run multiple terminal screens in a "window" like environment (so you can run more than one terminal on a cli screen), similar to running a graphical desktop and opening lots of terminals applications?
