And if that should be the case:
2. Then for manipulating a vfr movie in VD
I have to convert it to cfr first?

As I want to avoid unnescessary quality loss,
I would either need an avisynth script,
or would have to save the intermediate movie lossless, correct?
What do you need to do with vfr? If you must resolve it to cfr by means of frame interpolation or similar: yes there is no method in VD. If you are ok with dropping timestamps (and audio) it may work, then if you need to encode it back with the original timestamps: VD cant do this.
