New/Custom DataType - Altering definition / seeing definition in pgAdmin3

I've created a new custom datatype

eg:

create type foo as (
id smallint
data1 int
data2 int
)

to view the datatype in psql I do
=> \d foo

what is the equilvalent on pgadmin3 or any other SQL query tool?

Within pgAdmin3: File > Option > Display tab > set Types

As i understand from the docs, I can't alter / change the datatype
definition. If I need to change it, I need to drop it and re-create it
again. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct. pgAdmin3 will be your friend, as it shows a commented out drop
type instruction within eery create type script.
