It's done in php mostly.
You create styles by modifying the templates and css in the Styles & Templates area of the Admin CP.

Yes, php is a programming language. There is a lot of MySQL also used in the code.

Yeah, vBulletin is programmed in mainly PHP, using MySQL whenever any database connection is made.
It also uses some JavaScript/AJAX functionality, however not a major amount.
All of the above can be learnt at w3schools. A simple Google search will retrieve plenty of tutorials.
As Lynne said, you can modify the style by editing the CSS (or templates) in the Styles & Templates manager.
Refer to the vBulletin User Manual (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html) for help.
