variable valve timing or Vtech.
 
Is Vtech about the same as the old vacumm advance on older cars?

No,
Ignition timing changes VS variable camshaft movement.

Shouldn't his 99 S320 have VVT?

Some really nice (almost tangential) information here

So this means that from factory they are already a performanced cam.Or can timing still be improved for lift and duration?

It means the computer can change the camshaft timing. A performance cam may still give better performance.
