Am I correct when I assume that Picture Style Editor for canon deals only with raw files not Jpeg?

Curt, I believe that is correct. If you shoot in jpeg, the picture style is already added to the photo in camera.

You can also use it to create your own picture styles and upload them into the camera. That way you can apply it to JPG images.

Also, if you go to the Canon.Japan site, there are addition PSE files that you can download and install into the camera, via the EOS Utility. I find the Autumn Colors file to be quite nice.

No, it's exactly the opposite, contrary to a few comments made already.
The RAW file inherits parameters from the camera, such as the white balance and the picture style. However, these in-camera settings can be changed during the RAW processing, such as DPP, PS, LR, etc. Examples: auto WB might select 5900K. In RAW I can change this temp to any Kelvin value, 2000 to 8000K as well as adjusting the tint between red and green. I might also capture a landscape image using Canon Standard, but change to Canon Landscape in processing the RAW.
However for a JPEG, those in-camera settings are "baked into" the JPEG with significantly less ability to modify in post processing. Take sharpening, for example. The Canon Standard profile has sharpening at +3, Landscape takes the default value to +4. You can continue to sharpen during post processing, but original sensor data to JPEG with sharpening applied occurs in the camera when the JPEG file is created.
You can adjust the values of the Picture styles, tweeking an existing style or creating your own. In camera, your JPEGs will come out (straight out of camera) reflecting those changes. Or in DPP, you can apply your standard adjustments. In other tools you can pick-up that vendors simulation of the Canon settings, but further updates are using the refinements provided by the processing software, not + / - changes to the bundle of settings specific to the picture style.
What prompted this question? If you find you're upping the sharpening or contrast or saturation in all your JPEG images you might look at adjusting your picture style to bake these changes (aka Picture Style Editor) into the JPEG for less work, if any, in post. You might assure too that you adjust your WB to the situation, again for better SOOC JPEGs. Editing the Picture Style in DPP then makes these adjustments the default starting-point for your RAW edits.

Doesn't the style editor basically set the sliders in a certain way in DPP for you?

The picture style tells your Canon camera (I own 2 of them) HOW to process the jpeg from the RAW file so you can choose more or less contrast, more or less sharpening, more or less saturation and even change the tone (I always leave tone in the 0 setting) rather than having to do post processing to adjust each item with Photoshop or some other software afterwards. The pictures you see in your screen in the camera are the jpegs the camera's processor created from the RAW. You can choose small, medium, large size jpegs but the contrast, sharpness, etc is with the picture style.
