Does this mean waterproofing is better on the H2O than the One? I was under the impression that with the One's IPX8 rating is better than the H2O's IP67.

No, the translation is right. Water can penetrate into the housing interior (where the H2O should be impenetrable), but once there, it can't hurt anything as all systems are coated with some waterproof nanocoating. That's why you don't need to close the USB port, for instance.
