AE can be used for a number of things. If you want you CAN incorporate 3D elements from Maya, Max, etc but thats not necessarily its primary purpose.
You can create layers from video, photoshop files, from within AE, etc and then animate it within the program itself.
Its fairly easy to pick up on and there were a few threads dealing with it if you look down a bit. The hard part comes from coming up ideas and figuring out how to do it.
Personally, I find it easist to work with both 3D programs and After Effects (or in my case Combustion as I like it more), not necessarily for compositing, but I find it much easier navigating 3D space within a program designed primarily for it rather than using AE's rather-primitive capabilities.
