Yes absolutely - TBC is for editing both classes and instances. If you think about it, classes and properties are just different types of instances (of metaclasses), so it makes sense to use a generic approach with forms that display and edit any kind of RDF data. The term "ontology" is overloaded - some people use it to describe the schema, while others regard any RDF/OWL model as ontology. This is probably what the documentation does as well.
