Depending on what format you intend to convert a video signal to/from, an HDMI converter is a device that takes a digital HDMI video/audio signal and allows you to use it in a different format (DVI-D for example).

HDMI is a Data cable used in A/V equipment for transmission of video and audio. It is a digital transmission as opposed to an analog one. HDMI has been evolving so you may find different answers but in it's current incarnation HDMI is capable of higher than HD resolution video, uncompressed 8 channel audio, control functions and greater color range. HDMI cable vary greatly in price. Some of that has to do with marketing hype but it isn't something to skimp on. Some people say there is no difference between an expensive cable and a cheap one for quality of picture but usually they are wrong. HDMI is prone to signal loss and timing error of longer lengths of cable more so than analog cables are.

Can VGA to HDMI cables work as HDMI to VGA?

Unfortunately VGA to HDMI cables are kind of a scam. The problem is VGA is an analog signal and HDMI is a digital signal. A cable is not capable of converting something from analog to digital or the other way around. In order to connect between a VGA and an HDMI connection you must use an active converter that will convert from one format to another. These converters are going to be considerably more expensive than just a cable, but they'll actually get the job done. These converters run between $60-$300+ depending on the capabilities of the converter.
