It is possible to use a customized template when you create a new IoT Central application using Terraform (or az cli, Arm template or bicep):

resource "azapi_resource" "testtemplate" {
  type = "Microsoft.IoTCentral/iotApps@2021-06-01"
  name = "mytemplatetest"
  location = "eastus"
  parent_id = azurerm_resource_group.qs101.id
  body = jsonencode({
    properties = {
      displayName = "Test template"
      subdomain = "mytesttemplating"
      template = "fc45eeb8-8d9a-4f11-00000000000000@1.0.0"
    }
    sku = {
      name = "ST2"
    }
  })
}
