No, punto is a general point, and punta is the tip (of a knife etc) and not the word that is "worse than the b word" and even that word has it's uses.
La punta aguda = the sharp tip (of a knife etc)
It basically means the 'tip' or 'point' of something (tip of your tongue, tip of the iceburg, etc., but for more accurate and other meanings, click the dictionary tab and type in the word - you will get detailed information.
My dictionary gave me this
una estrella de cinco puntas - a five-pointed star
I would suggest looking in the dictionary on this site. It's there! 
Punta y punto is the same and = point
no punto means tip or point and punta is worse than the b word
