Well ofcourse there are exceptions.

Yes. All drives support normal CDs. Not all CD-R's are supported because of
the way they are being written to. Only discs burned in Disk At Once-mode
(DOA) work everywhere. There are also other systems, like multisession CDs,
but that isn't supported by older drives. I once burned an audio-CD for a
friend of mine in the standard mode of Adaptec Easy CD Copier (which is not
DAO, unfortunately), and he could play the CD on his own stereo, but not on
his parent's stereo.
The CD-RW's give problems on alot of drives because the layer which is
written on is less reflective, which results in reading problems on alot of
drives. The same goes for CD-R's (but much less often, it differs a bit per
color. Blue/green is the best readable and therefor gives the least
problems). Apparently, the laser in your drive was strong enough to be able
to read it.
