So, what does this mean? Are there players that playback vcd and svcd with more picture artefacts than others?

I would play mostly vcd and svcd on this player. I have found no conclusive writings that some player produce more artefacts or blockyness than others, infact this topic seems to be ignored mostly.

Can someone please clarify?

Would a more expensive JVC XV-N5 have a better picture artefact wise? It's almost impossible to test this myself because the stores I went to in Switzerland don't let you test the player, also no returns are allowed here.
