"supported" is a bit of an exaggeration. Those elements were barely
ported. As you notice, only MPEG 2 Video decoder is in there. The
interest for supporting this API has remain extremely low, the porting
has not moved ever since. The interest is even lower that that NVidia
has moved to a different API for it's newest HW.

Yes, nothing else has been ported.

Feel free to complete the porting. Other options, which is also
slightly un-maintained on VAAPI side, is to use VDPAU VAAPI driver.
