I think he refers to those sections: [Unit], [Service], [Install] and 
whatnot, I have not explored all of those yet.

But, those are not Windows-like INI-Files. Those files are meant to be 
following some XDG Desktop File Descripton Standard Whose Name I Not Now 
(tm), making them easy parseable by existing libraries and programs that 
implement this standard.

They are not enforced to be following this standard (show itself if you 
have a type=forking .service and define multiple ExecStartPost sections 
for instance), but are encouraged to be.

It's all in the documentation ;)

But yes, in the end all of those are key=value pairs.
