That is all you need to know. Not the dots. That above is a G5 power chord. The 3 means you play a note at the 3rd fret from the string at the top of the guitar and the 5th fret on the string below which is a fifth up from the root note which in this case is the 3rd fret which is a G. The 5th fret on the a string is a D and is a fifth up from G.

This pattern can be slid down any fret on the E string, a string or d string and the name of the power chord is always the rootnote(5) The rootnote being the red one above moved along.
