As far as I know, VisualSVN Server is a server while TortoiseSVN is a client. But I can also create repository with tortoise svn only, without needing Visual SVN.
What is the difference between the two or am I missing something?

The main difference between SVN and TortoiseSVN is that the SVN is a distributed version control system while TortoiseSVN is an SVN client implemented as a Microsoft Windows shell extension. In brief, SVN is a version control system. On the other hand, TortoiseSVN is a Subversion client.
VisualSVN is a transparent integration of the Subversion version control system to the Visual Studio development environment. VisualSVN allows you to take full control on any changes in the project that are made by you or your colleagues.
TortoiseSVN is a Subversion client, implemented as a Microsoft Windows shell extension, that helps programmers manage different versions of the source code for their programs. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License.
The difference is that the repository you create with TortoiseSVN client is a local repository on your machine. But that repository is of the same kind as the one the Visual SVN server (or any other SVN server) uses. If you move your locally created repository to your svn server you can access it via the server instead.
