Can I create a Form using the new Office Add-ins?

In PowerPoint VBA I can create a UserForm (MSForms) and call:

Dim frm As New myUserForm 

frm.Show

The result is a Window on top of PowerPoint.

Can I do the same thing from JavaScript API for Office?

Is the full Microsoft PowerPoint Object Library available from JavaScript API for Office*?

The new add-ins were not designed with the intention to replace the old VBA Add-ins, but porting VBA to JS seems logic and my Add-in could take advantage of some of the new online services of Office 365.

This isn't support by Office.js.

Office Web Add-ins were designed to be a cross-platform framework and the frm object only exists on Windows. It's also a native object which doesn't fit into a web based framework.

Instead of using a native object, consider building your form in HTML/JS. You can still display this as a modal dialog using the Dialog API if you wish.
