This intro in the http://fab.wmflabs.org homepage answers to your questions, and it will be kept in the Wikimedia Phabricator instance in production:

So yes, the door is open, and technically there is nothing stopping to non-technical teams to request a Phabricator project already now. However, currently we are not pitching this idea strongly because we expect enough... entropy with the huge wave of Bugzilla users that will come at once by Day 1. We'd rather let these tech users smooth the path for the rest.
Conclusion: let's focus first in making sure that Phabricator works as a replacement of Bugzilla, a goal that undoubtedly will help non-technical users and projects in the near future.
