I have this question too.
There is a good tutorial for this in the developer section with video.
The thumbnail is just a visual so show what the template looks like when you are choosing between themes in the dashboard.
The easiest way it to open up an existing theme and see how that works. You can have any number of page types you want, not just default.php. You can also use includes with php so all your pages can grab the same headers, footers or other code.
Let me know if that explains anything.

take a look at
<yoursite>/concrete/themes/default/
download that folder (or take it out of the zip) to see how it works its pretty simple
