firtly, thank you for the how-to!
Could you please add to install package mesa-va-drivers from Paulo's ppa (sudo apt install mesa-va-drivers) to the "AMD users" section?
I bought a little beast ASRock DeskMini A300 with AMD Athlon 200GE, followed your how-to (Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 with HWE kernel 4.18) and in Kodi, only VDPAU showed for video acceleration.
I was wondering where the problem is, simple "dpkg -l | grep mesa" showed me only mesa-vdpau-drivers were automatically installed. After installing mesa-va-drivers package, I was able to set VAAPI acceleration in Kodi.
By the way, it works great :-).
Thank you again
You haven't read everything from that how-to:

AMD users that want to use kodi v18 with vaapi (Take care: v17 won't work), you need to install mesa 18.0.1 or later. You can do this via Paulo's ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/pkppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
