Default Trouble!

Hi all, I'm new here, please help me with my guitar learning.

Is it true that u only strum those strings that have numbers (let's say when reading tabs)?

No you would PICK those strings when reading tab. You would strum when you're playing chords and even then sometimes not all of the strings.

Ah, ic. I kinda got mixed up. But I do not know how to pick.

Intro: :: F#m : A : E : A ::

e | ----5-5-4-------9-9-7--5---
B | -5--------5----------------
G | --------------9------------
D | ---------------------------
A | ---------------------------
E | ---------------------------

How should I pick this? I understand the number refers to the fret no...

Is the chord progression of the intro.

The tab is the specific lick. As with all tabs you do not get the time so you are expected to know the song to use it. The number is indeed the fret you hold while picking that specific string
