No this code is not correct.

self.MB = wx.Dialog(self,-1,"hello",pos=(-1,-1),size=(200,100),style=wx.NO_3D)
self.MB.Show(True)
# wrong initialization of timer
self.timer = wx.Timer(self.Step())
## self.timer = wx.Timer(5,self.Step(self))
# Start needs the time in milliseconds
self.timer.Start(5000)
## self.timer.Start()
 
# Function declaration needs () argument list
def Step(self):
    if self.timer.IsRunning():
        print ""
    else:
        self.MB.Close(True)
 

Also, I hope that your formatting is correct and you simply lost it because you didn't use code tags...
