Is this still the latest schema about which cores/CPUs cost how many
licenses? 


IBM's licensing policy is summarized below: 
                                                            Number of

                                                  Cores     required

And what about pSeries with p5 CPUs where you can switch the SMT-feature
on and off (which is the equivalent to ht in Intel-CPus). Does my
licensing change if I change the configuration?
