So... is девушка solely and specifically for girlfriend? Cause I remember trying out Duolingo's German for Russian speakers, and Mädchen (girl) translated into девушка

It depend on the context. If you say "она девушка" - it means "she is a girl", if you say "она его девушка" it means "she is his girlfriend"

Девочка is a little girl, a minor. Девушка is older, late teens-30, but younger than a "woman" женщина.
So the "г" in "его" is really pronounced as "v" correct? (In other words not yeaGo, but yeaVo...) Ty in advance! ;p
Correct. In this word, as well as in сегодня, the 'г' is pronounced like 'v.' Also in genitive suffixes, as in всего, своего, моего, etc.

That was written in the memoirs of a former radio correspondent in Moscow, who also attended university in Moscow. О женщине или старухе он не писал. Maybe there is some overstatement in it.

The subject noun is in the nominative case, so it stays девушка. "Его девушка" just means "his girlfriend."
