XF 1.4 Soundcloud embedded player did not convert

The amount of posts really isn't the issue as much as the amount of posts with matches made but yes and even in the worst case scenario you could tweak the addon to run in batches suitable to your system resources/configuration.
 
If all of the existing YouTube tags are identical then you can also do it with two queries:
Code:
UPDATE xf_post SET message = REPLACE(message, '[youtube]', '[media=youtube]');
UPDATE xf_post SET message = REPLACE(message, '[/youtube]', '[/media]');

Ensure you take a backup of the database before doing any manipulation of this sort.

We are making the board move this week. So just so I understand correctly: Because the youtube embedding is built into Xenforo AND is different than what we are using on vbulletin , we run these queries after importing the board in order to convert all our old vb youtube urls to xenforo's youtube urls.

Then we create custom BB codes in Xenforo to match the BB code that we are using in vbulletin for Soundcloud and VIMEO (which are our only other custom embed codes).

Is that correct?
 
That's more or less correct.

XF also has a Vimeo bb code built in so you shouldn't have to create one for that.
You may need to run queries though to change the tags to match, as with the YT tags.
