If it's the latter, then feel free to put it out of your mind. When you eat doesn't really matter, as long as you're eating within your calorie range.
Now, for some people, the advantage of smaller meals more often means that they don't get terribly hungry. However, there are plenty of people who hate to eat so often, and prefer eating 3 times a day or even less, but their meals sustain them for longer.
So, if you want to eat 6 times a day, then by all means. But, if you're only aiming to eat 6 times a day, because you think everyone else does... then don't.

Do you like Nutrigrain bars? If so, then ... by all means. Have a Nutrigrain bar. Do you dislike them? Then, no. Don't eat them.

How do I know what time to eat dinner? My last meal? etc.

When are you usually hungry? Do you like having dinner and then planning a late-night snack? Or are you usually okay after your final meal?
This might take some experimenting, but as with that "6 meals a day" stuff that goes around, there's no one right answer for every person.
