And what was said in the actual film? Nothing I've said contradicted that.
That Vegeta died, for sure. And that was the only hard statement given.
Frieza was speculated to have possibly survived, due to his space able biology, but not stated to outright.
Certainly no one sensed his power level, even Piccolo, despite it having been very easily apparent prior in the film.
That is a very general framework of statements, and is a far-cry from outright saying "Vegeta died in seconds due to lack of oxygen", or "Vegeta died in seconds due to exposure to a vacuum". Toriyama is not that senile to forget what happened one movie ago.
The heat, radiation and/or perhaps sudden huge rush of CO2 bursting his lungs could have killed him, and if Frieza survived, it still would have been chalked up this ability to survive in space.
No contradiction anywhere.
As for your link, that's what a human is subject to, and its something Saiyan's can resist far easier. A planet exploding is far more deadly than being subjected to the vacuum of space, save for space being only a few kelvins in temperature, (which is the opposite effect; super cold instead of super hot). But they won't die in seconds from exposure to that cold or lack of oxygen because they haven't in the very near past. (Going farther back still, Vegeta was on an asteroid with no apparent atmosphere when he turned Super Saiyan the first time.)

4th form Freeza was still more powerful than anyone we've ever seen in Z, aside from the Gods. That said, it is entirely possible that the energy he discharged into the Earth's core ultimately resulted in a >>>> planetary detonation. After all, when the Earth is about to detonate, even Beerus seems very eager for Whis to erect a shield around them, as he exclaims: "Whis, quickly!!"Regardless, given how powerful Freeza was, I certainly don't think it is a poor showing for anyone involved. The only inconsistent part is Goku/Vegeta not being able to 'breath' in space, considering that Goku was able to in the last film. However, if DBS depicts Goku/Beerus fighting and talking in space again, then the showing in RoF will become the exception, not the rule.
The blast itself being above planetary is unlikely, for the sheer fact that Frieza only did one short maneuver, not a continued volley or anything, and yet the planet still took 3 minutes total for the chain reaction and eventual explosion combined. It was basically like Namek all over again, but, 2 minutes quicker.
The planet exploded from the chain reaction. His influence was not there outside of the initial maneuver.
And for me, I did not sense of a tinge of concern from either Whis' or Beerus' voice personally. They seemed pretty laid back. If there was any concern it wasn't for personal safety, but moreso for the people that Beerus guaranteed he'd keep safe.
