No, 4d in geekspeak means a fourth spacial dimension. So you have 12 directions instead of 6 in analogy from 2d to 3d. The walls of a tesseract (4-dimensional equivalent to a cube, also called 'hypercube') are cubes for example. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract> for a more math-y explanation.
