Not sure where you’re getting your info, but it’s not correct. 🙂

bbPress uses your existing WordPress theme, and allows you to customize the individual templates as you see fit. You can copy the template files you want to customize out of:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/
and drop them in…
wp-content/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/bbpress/
where YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME is the name of the currently active theme on your site.

Then start editing them, and you should see your edits come through.
