A physical quantity with zero magnitude can be called a vector, in particular, it is called a null vector.

If an object moves in 1 direction, then it is called positive displacement, if it moves in 2 opposite directions one of the directions should be considered negative, if it moves in 1 direction and then comes back to its point initial, the displacement is said to be 0. Objects can have a displacement of 0 and still be vectors. This statement is therefore false. Scalars have only magnitude, but vectors have both direction and direction-specific magnitude. This is the most basic difference between the two quantities.
The reasoning is therefore correct.
