A point buying system is a mathematically derived methodology that is used to determine what a base value in the game that a unit is worth. It will be based on a number of characteristics the unit has. Weapon effectiveness, movement allowance, & armor defensive value are three characteristics one would use in the CS system. Fire cost would be another. These values are then combined to give a total point value of the unit.
This gives a very dependable manner in which to determine the eveness of a match up, but does not include other variables such as defensive position, etc... Separate values have to be assigned for that.
It is a very involved and detailed process but once completed, it works.

How does this differ from the Victory Point system for the units?

If I undestand correctly, a strength point gives "X" victory points in the game, regardless of what type it is. So if you lose a SP of PZ VIb's, you get the same VP's as if you lost a SP of T-26's.
If that is not correct then I am even more confused than usual!
