Wiring a new house, and it seems that everything you do is wired to a central location. Am I acurate with that? Especially if you are using a structured media center.

Absolutely! Regardless of whether you have a structured media center or not. Follow the ANSI/EIA/TIA recommendation and pull in 2 cat5e and 2 RG 6 cables to each location from a central location.
CIAO!

Ed is right, that's exactly what we're installing at our sites for new home construction.
2 Cat5 (or Cat6) and the quadshield coax RG5 cables. (1) Cat5 for voice, the other for data. (1) coax for video, the other one is unused for spare.We're running fiber to the home, but coax and cat5 are still being used to feed data, voice and video into the house.
Video over IP is the new thing coming, BTW. We're trying to keep the coax and data faceplates close together for that purpose.
