A web search tells me the θ (lower-case theta) is used to represent an angle. Do you just fill in 0° – 359.9° one after another to draw that curve?

Yes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

Since this curve is cyclical, you can do it [-infinity ; +infinity] and it's the same curve again and again.
