I've seen written in "Der Kleine Prinz": "Was ist das für ein Ding da?". Is it also correct if I were to write: "Was für ein Ding ist das da?" ? Would it have the same meaning?

Yes, that's fine too.

Thanks a lot.

yes, both sentences are correct. moving "für ein Ding“ in front of the verb puts emphasis on "Ding".
