Yes, you will be able to create custom maps. They are an important part of urt. There's basically 3 tools you need to know.

• A 3D modeling program like 3ds max, Maya or Blender to create models
  
• A 2D paint program like Photoshop or Gimp to create textures
  
• The Unreal Editor to assemble the pieces for your map and add the game play elements of the map.

If you don't feel the need to create custom models or textures yourself all you need is the Unreal Editor. However, we don't know yet which version of UE4 the community will get. Some members of the team feel like the editor we are using is too powerful and lets people do things and create maps that don't fit the game. So we might lock some features. We're also observing the free Unreal Tournament 2014 development, they might create a 3rd party level editor that we could use as well.

Yeah, the unreal editor is the radiant counterpart. You can still use brushes to build your maps in ue4. You can also import models, textures, sounds, create materials (no need to write shader scripts anymore), create particle effect, post processing effects, triggered events and much more.

To do a 1-1 conversion of a 4.2 map to UE4/HD is not all that difficult to do and I'm in the process of converting Casa which you can follow along in my blog.

To do the raw conversion I exported the .map file to OBJ using export by material name and after importing into 3ds Max I was able to rebuild the materials as each object was given the same name as the texture being used on a given surface.

Being a master of Max I then used the raw import to set up my source chain and converted a lot of the map objects to instance copies. All of the windows for example are the same object but can be constructed from a few parts into a different design.

Time wise, if you know your software, a 1-1 conversion of a brushed base map can be done in less than a day or a few hours depending on the size of the map.

So yeah it is that easy, mostly.
