Yes, Elements understands the gif format.
Does this paper help you for your animation purpose?

Creating a GIF animation in Elements is sort-of possible with this method:

But to be honest, going any further than extremely basic animation is a grueling task in Elements, because it doesn't have a proper timeline. Yes, unfortunately you are correct: Elements does not have a timeline, or any animation tools.
Perhaps consider Krita, which is free and open source, and sports a very nice frame-based timeline. www.krita.org
