Can I manage the Regions in the setting page? I mean: add new region, region position and region weight for different devices and so on.

If answer is no, then is there a companion module to get this?

Thanks

No and there will likely never be one. Omega set the trend for that in 7.x-3.x but then took out the UI for it in 7.x-4.x because it was overly complex and caused many deployment issues. You can add custom regions via your sub-theme's .info file: https://www.drupal.org/node/171205#regions and overriding the page.tpl.php file.

From my experience, however, it is extremely rare that you need more regions than the ones that are provided by this base-theme. Many people create extra regions without realizing the weight they have in maintaining them (ie: creating a region for every global block). Utilizing other modules, like the ones found on Bootstrap related modules, offer alternatives to structuring a page without the need to add additional regions.

I'm attaching this related issue, but it isn't anywhere close to being implemented properly without causing backwards compatability issues.
