What does it mean when something like this is advertised as "hand-
painted"? Does it mean that it's done with a stencil? Or does it mean
that the drawings are mechanically imprinted onto the object and
someone colors it in with their hand?

My guess is that things would cost more if they were really hand-
painted.

No, it may be legit. But some of that stuff is painted on an assembly line
rather than some fancy artist doing a one off. Things like that are done
all the time by workers making pennies per hour.

Like where one person does the drawing and one or more others do the
fill-ins and someone else does the glazing?

Pretty much. Can I do the red today? I'm tired of painting blue.

Either one could apply. Your image is too small to see detail, but the
style is one most commonly painted by hand with brush-applied colors.
The same style has colors that tend to be somewhat transparent, so that
overlapping brush strokes can be seen. Your image could also be just a
decal-type transfer ... if you cannot see brushstrokes, or see a pattern
in the colors, it is more likely (not absolutely) a decal.
