Correct, you're thinking with modern-UI brain.

It's just a page template and the content of the particular page is a long list of images. No javascript to do fancy stuff. Just a collection of backgrounds the dude found.

Actually, this page is already "advanced" for a Geocities site, because the starry night pattern is for the left-gutter next to the site's content, and then there's an easy-on-the-eyes background behind the real content. Normal Geocities would just have one super duper beautiful and impossible-to-read-on background.

(Oh, and you wouldn't /also/ do that cool background on the right side too because... "who knows how to figure out a floating left side border image?! that's basically impossible.") ;)
