The .sty file is a document style -- either a very very old
    document class (for latex 2.09)
    or a "package" (extension for another document class).

The .tex file is most likely a template document.

The .bib file is a bibliographic database

The .pdf is a documentation or the result of "LaTeXing" the template .tex.


For LyX, you may need a new "layout" or "module". This depends on the
content of the template .tex file: if the line starting with

   \documentclass
   
lists a standard document class (or one already supported by LyX) you have
luck and can simply try to import the .tex file into LyX.

The expansion of LyX to support new classes and modules is described in detail
in Help>Customization.
