In bayes version for continuous case, what does it mean to integrate with respect to $dtheta$ when $theta$ is a vector not a a scalar value?
$$p(theta|D) = fractheta)p(theta)p(D)$$
Where $D$ is a set of observed data points, and $theta$ is a vector of parameters to be estimated.
$$ p(D) = int p(D|theta)p(theta)dtheta $$
Is this integral a surface integral, component-wise integral or what ?

You are computing the marginal distribution of $p(D)$ over the range of your parameter space $theta in Theta$. The choice of integral depends on how your parameter space is defined.

Can you give an example with a specific parameter space? I'm not sure I fully understand your answer

Say your parameter $theta$ is a 2-D vector and bounded, i.e., $theta_1 in [a_1, b_1]$ and $theta_2 in [a_2, b_2]$, then $Theta in [a_1, b_1] times [a_2, b_2] $, which is a surface.

That will be the n-dimensional integral, like the 2D case below: $$p(D) = int_Thetaint p(D | theta_1,theta_2)p(theta_1,theta_2)dtheta_1dtheta_2$$
Because it does not matter if you put them in a vector or not; if you formulate your likelihood and joint PDF correctly. You just have $n$ random variables.
