I've stayed at the Vancouver Hyatt Regency many times as a Diamond and now Globalist. As a guest you have two options of Parking payment. I should note that the garage connected to the Hyatt Regency is a "public" garage. To enter the garage you need to accept the parking ticket. Upon check-in you have the option to either pay at the public garage rate or the Hyatt rate which is billed to your room. The rates will vary according to night/day or weekday/weekend. The front desk will go through the various rates to allow you to choose the cheapest rate. I have not tried to Valet (which uses the same garage), but I have received free parking on point stays. For this, I chose the Hyatt parking rate and I made sure to remind the front desk of the points stay and my Globalist status. Basically they can only comp the parking if you choose the Hyatt rate... because the garage is a public garage.
In the end, don't by shy to escalate to the GM. Hope this helps!

Is there a a reason why there are two different responses? So Globalists can get free breakfast at the restaurant?

When the club lounge is closed for any reason (as referenced above) or non-existent, then it's free breakfast in the restaurant. Most properties are quite generous with this benefit....

As far as your question about Globalist and breakfast at the restaurant goes, so far I've only ever been given Mosaic breakfast when the club lounge was closed.

Anything else that I might need to know as a first time guess?

Don't get me wrong but I think you dramatize your "first stay" at this hotel a bit too much. If I would do that every time I'm staying at a new property I'd need a straightjacket within a few months.
Just enjoy your stay!

Based on what I have read, the garage this property uses is operated by a third party. When I looked up the parking rates for non-hotel guests, they appeared to be cheaper (non valet) than what the property charges. I realize Hyatt's rate probably includes in and out privileges, but if I am just going to park the car in the garage during a short stay, doesn't it make more sense to pay non-hotel guest rates? Am I missing something?
