Is there a way to take the playcount from the ID3 tags?

The play count in VDJ is stored in the database, not the file tag.

I know. But my question goes in a different direction:
I would like to know whether there is a way to initially read the value from the ID3 tag and then transfer it to the database.

It would have been better to mention that in your first post :-)
How were those tags written (which software)?

Most cases vdj uses the database not ID3 tags. So searching - writing info with scripts all act on the database.
You will see when vdj interacts with ID3, If you search in options for
tag
With script you can get & set database field data. e.g.
This little script demonstrated how to swap the artist and title, first saving artist in a variable, then writing over the artist with the title, then getting the saved variable and using that to write over the title.

set $tempString `get_browsed_song artist` & get_browsed_song title & param_cast & browsed_song artist & get_var $tempString & param_cast & browsed_song title
