Does this mean that if a German citizen registers a company in US and owns 100% of it and also invests $100k into it, he can get an E-2?

There are other requirements, such as evidence of not only the investment but the expenditure of the funds by the U.S. company on business expenses and a good business plan, but these are not onerous requirements. The challenge sometimes is the expenditure of the funds because a substantial amount needs to have been spent before applying for the E-2 visa and sometimes it can be hard to spend that money.
