No. Pointers are pointers whatever they point at, be it an array or a structure. Think about a piece of memory as a sequence of cells. So a pointer to any cell allows you to access all the following cells in order, by using an index (pointer plus offset). If you (the programmer) have decided that the area you point to should be treated as if it contains different sized blocks (aka a structure), that does not affect the physical properties of the memory. It merely allows the compiler to calculate the distance between the elements of the structure. And an array of pointers is much the same thing.

If you have trouble visualising multi levels of indirection, then always go for a single level. If you have an array of pointers, then create a temporary one and allocate an array entry to it like:
C++
CUSTOMVERTEX ** ScreenLettersP_s = new CUSTOMVERTEX* [NumberOfTextBuffers]; // an array of struct pointers
CUSTOMVERTEX* pTemp = ScreenLettersP_s[0]; // get the first pointer in the array
pTemp-> // now access the struct items.
