Was googling around and didn't really find myself an answer but I bought a VPS.
Remote Desktop (CentOS, VNC). What am I supposed to do with that, how do I even establish a connection to it, with a RDP connection.

CentOS is a Linux operating system, you can connect to it using PuTTy, it doesn't have a GUI it is based on commands. RDP (Remote desktop protocol) can be used with Windows VPSes, you can't use it with CentOS (afaik). I don't really advice you to use VNCs, they're useless, learning shell commands much more easier.

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a virtual graphical desktop you can use it with Linux yeah, but it uses much resource.

Well, I don't really know maybe the provider has lack of acknowledgement or you misunderstood what they meant.

O, some host providers will give you the VNC details along with the SSH login details. Did you get only the VNC login details or? Can you ctrl + f for 'SSH'?
