Non M owner here, isn't the RAM in these machines a faster type of RAM since it's used as both system memory and VRAM? And if it's faster then normal RAM is that why the M machines do good even at 8GB compare to 16GB of slower normal RAM?

Short answer… yes. SOC architecture allows for equivalent performance with better power efficiency, meaning better performance with equivalent power efficiency.
