No, it will of course not only work on iPhone 5. iPhone 5 and iOS 6 just
provided some motivation and also eased some pains:

1. There was the NEED for a redesign of at least the NowPlaying screen
to make it use on iPhone 5 and to use the added space

2. Since support for iPhone 5 and iOS 6 forces you to drop support for
ARM6 based devices (iPhone 3G - NOT 3GS, that still works - and iPod
touch 2nd Gen., you can't compile for them with the new development kit)
there is no reason to not use iOS 5 as a baseline requirement anymore
(all ARM7 based devices can run iOS 5) which allows for FAR more
customization than iOS 4. That header bar you are seeing in the screen
shot would either not have been possible at all under iOS 4 or it would
at least have been an utter PIA to do everything yourself.

So... Everything that's still supported by Apple (iPhone from 3GS, iPod
touch from 3rd Gen) will work with the new iPeng but you will need at
least iOS 5. It looks a _little_ bit better on iOS 6, there have been
some design changes to standard UI elements in 6 that fit the new design
better. It definitely looks better on retina displays (obviously), all
main menu icons are now available in retina resolution.
