The skill of last hitting, is easily the important thing you can invest your time in right now. The simple version is that in a lower skill Dota game, kills, structures, and assists will tend to be a much larger percentage of the total gold in a game for all heroes. Watching TI, I'm sure you noticed that often the core positions 1/2/3 often had substantially more gold than the supports as a percentage of the total gold in the game. Pro teams are extracting virtually all gold and experience possible from the map every minute, so the question becomes one of distribution vs acquisition.
In your game you averaged a bit over 15cs/10min. For perspective, with no jungle creeps included, there is roughly 80 possible last hits in the first 10 minutes in lane. This value is not all that useful without context. Things such as, what lane were you in, what hero were you, what opposition did you have are all relevant to keeping this stat in perspective, but when you do end up in a game with similar circumstances you merely want to try and out perform yourself. If you are playing the 1 position or the 5 position, you should always take every cs'ing opportunity as practice. Raw mechanics are the basis to rest of the game, and right now you have a lot of information to learn (hello 400+skills disregarding the item shop). But regardless of how shit your allies might be, you can only blame yourself when you miss uncontested CS. Just 1 cs more per minute, you would have cracked the century mark in your 40 minute game.
