Is this a mate in 3? Black to move

What about it?

I’d say I’m an advanced beginner. Not very good with notation. The Mate in 2 or 3 or 4 thing has always confused me. Is it Mate in 3 regardless of what black does? Anyway, Black to move, they played Bd4, then Mate in 3 for White. Am I doing this right?
