Yes, the sequence is more or less the
same as in:
        MBSWizardHandler.doTemplatesPostProcess(IProject)
The MBS Wizard is special as it performs
project creation itself and only
uses the template engine for additional
actions.

The high level sequence is:

        //
get a fresh template by the id appearing in the header in the corresponding
template.xml
        TemplateCore
tcore= TemplateEngine.getDefault().getTemplateById("ExampleProject");

        //
configure it (the keys are macros appearing argument /values/ in template.xml)
        Map<String,String>
values= tcore.getValueStore();
        values.put("location",
"C:/temp/workspace");
        values.put("projectName",
"exampleTemplateProject");

        //
execute it
        IStatus[]
status= tcore.executeTemplateProcesses(new NullProgressMonitor(), false);

There is only a template process for
creating a managed project as far as I can see, so if you want
a different project type, you might
need to code and register a template process for that.

thanks,
Andrew
