Music theory helps a lot with guitar when you start getting into more advanced lessons, but sure, you don’t need that much of it to play power chords.
Anyway, now that you have a little, you can experiment by playing around with octaves and thirds etc.
It’s still good to know.

Wow – I have to say I love power chords. They’re a really cool cheat if you want to play rock songs quickly.

One thing I do is “translate” power chords into barre chords if I want to play a power chord song on an acoustic guitar.

So if the chord is F5 I play F major or minor on the acoustic depending on the sound I want.

I know it’s not theoretically brilliant but it sounds kinda cool…
