Absolutely. There's a "Model info" feature under the Tools menu that shows all objects and has summary info at the bottom showing surface/vertex counts. You can also "select all" and go into surface/vertex mode to see the number of surfaces/vertices in the document.
As far as keeping poly counts low, that depends on how you model. Modeling good looking, low poly models can take some skill, regardless of the tool you use. There is an "Object -> Reduce" function to reduce the detail/poly counts, but it's generally best to model it low-poly in the first place if possible.
Hope that helps.
