In the previous versions of Gentoo the stage 2 and stage 3 were two
different levels
of pre compiled systems for those that would rather not go through the pain of
compiling a system from scratch. They discontinued the stage 2 and stage 3 tarballs
with rc4 if I remember correctly. As long as "emerge system" is completed you have 
your base system ready to rock. Welcome to the Gentoo fold!
