I created my custom theme based on Magento Luma theme:
/app/design/frontend/MyVendorName/ncs-theme/theme.xml I added <parent>Magento/luma</parent>But when I look at my frontend I see some differences. For example on the product-view page (see attachment), the structure of <div class="product-info-price"> is different then the Luma theme?
And on the homepage it's also missing styles for the <div class="content-heading"> (see image). Do I have to copy some files into my custom theme?
Use the commmand line tool to regenerate the static files and the cache.
I would also try running your server as an administrator so that it doesn't have any issues with symlinks.

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy and cleared cash?
/vendor/magento/theme-frontend-luma/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml. I see Luma theme is changing the HTML structure here. But why it's not visible on my frontend, while Luma is my parent theme and my custom theme should inherit everything from Luma theme isn't it?

Have you added the registration.php file too? That is also the required file to be added in new custom theme. If you are facing product view related issues then you can also put the file etc/view.xml from luma to your custom theme. Custom theme requires two files be added always:
Registration.php
<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::THEME,
'frontend/{{vendor}}/{{theme}}',
__DIR__
);
Theme.xml
<theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
<title>Your Theme</title>
<parent>Magento/luma</parent>
<media>
<preview_image>media/preview.jpg</preview_image>
</media>
</theme>
etc/view.xml (optional) : if you set blank theme as parent then you need to add this, however, I would suggest to add this file too in case you are facing issues to display product data with luma as parent. You can simply copy it from luma to your custom theme.
