One thing I didn't understand, how or where is "dd" initialized?
I can't find any information.

dd refers to the DesignerUtils (DDD) class
Code: Copy 
Private dd As DDD

Then later in App_Start or Page_Create (B4J ...) it is initialised ,
Code: Copy 
dd.Initialize
   
'The designer script calls the DDD class. A new class instance will be created if needed.
'In this case we want to create it ourselves as we want to access it in our code.
xui.RegisterDesignerClass(dd)

the latest xCLV example shows everything required to get up to speed.

One thing I did notice in the example was the older method to change / access a views property ..
Code: Copy 
Dim lbl As B4XView = dd.GetViewByName(pnl, "Label1")
lbl.Text = "Clicked!"

whereas you are still able to access the property directly ...
Code: Copy 
dd.GetViewByName(pnl, "Label1").Text = "Clicked!"

That is because GetViewByName returns a B4XView.
Also, you should still be able to use the "As" keyword (inline casting):
B4X: Copy 
dd.GetViewByName(pnl, "Panel1").As(Panel).Elevation = 6
