No, Veldora being involved influences the purity of the Magic Ore and therefore the processed Magisteel, but it's still Magic Ore and Magisteel both with or without Veldora involved, just of different quality.

This is really just another case of translators disagreeing how to handle the 魔 Kanji, as in Japanese folklore, unlike the West, magic is more closely associated with demonic creatures and monsters.

Though using "demonic" as the translation choice in such a case too often, like the WN translators did, only causes a mess and confusion, hence it should be avoided whenever possible. In the case of Tensei Slime specifically, the 魔 Kanji usually refers to Monsters most of the time and sometimes to Magic, but Monsters are primarily made from Magicules in the first place, which is also the primary resource used for most Element/Aspectual Magic, so usually it just has to be extrapolated from the context, what to use for the translation.
