By using the new html5 tags like header, footer, nav, article, etc. and even micodata/formats to structure your website. From what I understand this will help search engines understand your page. If so would this help your SERP rank?

A: 

I really doubt it. Headings (h1,h2), titles, and actual content will still be the on-page things you want to concentrate on.

And your code could be complete crap but if you have tons of targeted backlinks you will be high in the SERPs

A: 

No. You can rank just as high using anything else if it's structured correctly but new tags don't make any difference at all.
