I have been trying to figure out the difference between using the 'babel-loader' as a *.js loader and using 'babel-polyfill' as first source in entry. But I can't get my head around it, what is the difference?

babel-loader is a package allows transpiling JavaScript files using Babel and webpack. Learn more about that from my webpack videos. Specifically this one. Learn about babel-polyfill here: https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/polyfill/
