No it's not archaic. It means the Tuesday after the next Tuesday. Today is Sunday. Tuesday is in two days time. The next Tuesday but one is one week after that. Hopefully that isn't too confusing.

I have never heard it said like that, but it sounds like it means "The tuesday after next" I would say that usage must be very uncommon. (UK)

This is never used in the U.S.

In the US, we'd most likely say "a week from next Tuesday"
