In other words, what does the phrase “subject to counterspells” in the RPM book (when talking about advantages with the Magical limitation mean?

So in this case, no. You're exchanging specifics for specialties - you're negatting a magical item that has up to 20 points of properties. “vulnerable to counterspells” is a term of art - it also encompasses dispeling or temporary suffocation of abilities.
