Do non-aura equipments with the words "enchanted creature" still apply those buffs?

Theorycrafting a nonsense The Book of Vile Darkness deck ATM.
I exile a Mechanized Production card under Vecna using The Book of Vile Darkness' activated ability and type- and name-changing shenanigans. I turn Vecna into a noncreature artifact - Equipment (but not an enchantment or Aura). I attach it to an artifact creature. Will Vecna's triggered ability from the Mechanized Production trigger at the beginning of my upkeep, or will the game not consider the attached creature enchanted, since Vecna is not an enchantment - Aura?
If the latter, will later turning Vecna into an enchantment but not an Aura cause it to trigger?
Okay, very cool thanks.
Follow-up question. Does that... actually seriously mean that, if I have an Equipment that has the text of Curse of Bloodletting (or Infectious Curse (the static ability, not the triggered one)) and it's attached to a creature, that that creature will be affected as though the attached permanent reads "enchanted creature" instead of "enchanted player"?

No, a player is not a creature. The text won't apply.

303.4m An ability of a permanent that refers to the “enchanted [object or player]” refers to whatever object or player that permanent is attached to, even if the permanent with the ability isn’t an Aura.
