yep that's true, not every word HAS 5 tones and hence 5 diff meanings, but there are 5 tones- (4 and a no tone).

they do. 'Ja' is will - future, which is very easy to use in Thai. Gamlang - similar to present continuous. Laew is similar to past simple in use.

Maa as in 'bpi nai maa' where have you been? - similar to present perfect in use....

But it's basically only those 4 or 5 equivalent tenses and a lot of contextual language.
