OOo is not multithreaded, but it's possible that two threads can work on the same OOo model as it is not locked between API calls. This will change with our new Threading Framework in the future where code executed in any thread can obtain an exclusive lock for a defined span of time. ATM you can't lock a model against changes through its API, but you can prevent it from being modified through UI operations (dispatch calls).
