What are meta tags? They are information inserted into the "head" area of your web pages. Other than the title tag (explained below), information in the head area of your web pages is not seen by those viewing your pages in browsers. Instead, meta information in this area is used to communicate information that a human visitor may not be concerned with. Meta tags, for example, can tell a browser what "character set" to use or whether a web page has self-rated itself in terms of adult content.

Source: How To Use HTML Meta Tags

These are used in the <head> statement of HTML.

I am not, but meta tags can be used with ANY html page I know of.
So, if it's HTML, I'm sure you can.

Is it the Meta tags that are picked up by the search engines then?

sure its what search engines pick up. submit yourself to one and define them
they pick up on the "keywords" meta tag.

<HEAD>
<TITLE>your DESCRIPTIVE KEYWORDS title goes here</TITLE>
<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Your keyword rich marketing sales-pitch meta description goes here">
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="your keywords,go here,separated by a comma,but not a space">
</HEAD>


free meta tag generator can be found here
