VLC for iPhone currently does not support management of playlist files such as m3u. This will be part of subsequent updates later this year.

No, sorry. We ended up working on other subprojects this year, so this feature is still left to do.

Any news on this? New UI was released 5 days ago, but I can't handle .m3u files

We currently don't have any news about this sadly. We have a UI component still in the works for it, but it wasn't shipped so far. We did not forget about it, it's just that other things kept us more busy :/

This doesn’t need a response from developers (I don’t want to take away from important development time) but I thought I would put in my vote of interest for this feature. I know it’s always a trade-off as to what features/bugs should be worked on but I hope this one leaves development hell at some point. Cheers and thanks to all the devs for their hard work on such a fantastic app :)
