Yes you can do that, all you need is a "terminal emulator" app, there are plenty available just search for them. Depending on the custom ROM some already provide updated gapps so be sure to use the right one and not just the one given in tools like goomanager.

I would recommend the following.

1. Backup your apps + data using Titanium Backup
2. Boot into recovery and create a backup of your system
3. Wipe cache/davlik/data + system
4. be aware of the right "flashing order" FIRST the ROM file, then add more zips and choose gapps
5. enjoy your custom ROM

Something tells me he hasnt rooted yet. If im not mistaken, he can't use a terminal app with the dd command if he isnt rooted. I know you can root using adb though with debugging enabled but im not sure he can root without a pc.

Here is a good place for him to start :
