Does that mean ! All CUDA encoders right now are faster just because they produce much less quality than x264 ?!

Come to think of it , How can a GPU processor be 20x faster than CPU ? They advertise that their CUDA encoders are 20x faster than regular CPU ones ... !!!
Bolded the key words for you there.

A Honda Civic is 10 times faster than an Go-kart. It's easy to be "20 times faster" when you're comparing yourself to the worst encoders on the market.

I have yet to see a CUDA encoder that's faster than x264. All of them are "fast" because they use incredibly crappy encoding settings -- and if you set x264 to use comparable settings, x264 is equally (or even moreso) faster.
