No, you do not need to make any modifications to google.php. You can copy, paste, and save exactly as above. The only customization you need to make above is to Step 4. You can customize Step 3 by making the frame width for search higher but that's minor.
Regarding Step 4, when you go to Google Adsense in Step 1 to create your Custom Search (be sure to save that Custom Search), then you will be able to get the code you need from Google so your particular code is inserted where the XX's are in my example.
If you're getting a blank page then either you have not created the Template (Step 3) or you have not modified the navbar template correctly (Step 4). You should be able to test google.php out just by visiting the page. You'll see that the page works even if there are no search results. Also, make sure to set the file permissions to 755 for google.php
