but isn't there also a five-act structure thing as well? I actually think that (at least in my fairly limited understanding) the five-act thing might be just a slightly more detailed version of the three-act thing. I'm not sure which source features what structural breakdown. I suppose I'm asking.

It's a division of the second act to "the twist on page 40," "the twist on page 65" and "the twist on page 80" (predicated on a 120-page script where the end of Act One is page 30 and the end of Act Two is Page 90).
