Good questions (and something I’d like to see more research on myself.)
SuperMemo focuses on facts not skills. The very format of SuperMemo (and, more or less, the brain itself) is such that it relies on relationships so all the research can be safely said to apply to ‘facts and relationships’. It does not attempt to cover concepts as divorced from facts and relationships and it does not make specific allowances for learning skills at all.
Does SuperMemo make any attempt to distinguish between learning “facts,” “concepts,” “relationships,” and “skills?”
I would be pretty astonished if the same studying routine yielded optimal results for all four of those categories.
