is it possible to output a list with all mp2 coded files or better all not-mp3-coded files?  
If yes, how do i do that?

Several options:  
Use columns in the files list, with e.g. %\_codec% as value.  
Or filter for files with a certain extension, e.g.  
NOT %\_filename\_ext% HAS mp3

You will only see files that are actually read by MP3tag. See File\>Options\>Tags for the list of file extensions.
