So does this mean if you give it a swivel knife it can also be a vinyl cutter?

CNC is CNC, if you can put an attachment on it, it'll probably work. If you replace the hotend with a router and make the extrusion wires turn the router on and off, you have a CNC router. If you use a swivel knife, you have a vinyl cutter

Yes, actually Bambulab (I know currently controversial) has just released a new printer (A2L) that actually has the cutter and pen functionality. You just clip it onto the printer head and it works. (This is not meant as an advert for them, not affiliated in any way. It's addons that other manufacturers will also add to their printers)
