KMZ file is a collection of a kml and its supporting pictures. the pictures itself are not georeferenced and directly opening them will usually open then in wgs84 which won’t make sense as pictures will be stretched in some direction.

The KML format supports multiple data types, however I don’t think QGIS can create a KML file with different data types.
