No.  It speaks of doing it twice because there are two environments to
be configured in the example.

Probably.  Addmittedly I've never used Customize to configure a mode
hook.  You can try to click on [INS] and then copy and paste the
(lambda () ...)  part from the example into the text box.  Obviously you
will have to edit the list of environments in that code to fit those you
would like to configure.  For each environment you have to put in an
entry like '("<environment>" LaTeX-env-label).

If that doesn't work you might try to copy and paste the whole code
snippet from the RefTeX manual, i.e. including the `add-hook' part, into
your init file and restart Emacs (or evaluate the snippet with `C-x
C-e').  The init file can usually be found with `C-x C-f ~/.emacs
<RET>', though I don't know if Aquamacs still uses that.
