misc/preboot.log and ACPI/origin/* are missing.
You forgot to press F2 and F4.
Please read "problem reporting" carefully.

You may want to try kernel flag slide=128 or slide=256 as implied by the message from AptioMemoryFix.efi.
Or try OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi (perhaps others) as suggested by the guide.

Note: Make sure you're using a USB2 stick.

Using slide = 128, no more messages than

"AptioMemoryFix(R16) : Starting \.IABootFiles\boot.efi

Are you using a USB2 stick?
Did you try with slide=256?
Did you try with OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi instead of AptioMemoryFix.efi?
Did you try with VboxHfs-64.efi instead of HFSPlus.efi? (this suggestion is also in post #1).

Why no install_osx partition? (guide calls for renaming to install_osx after using createinstallmedia).

Also, check your BIOS settings.
Thinkpad tends to have strange options you must disable (such as TPM).

Disabling Intel Rapid Technology seemed to help. The booting in verboose mode has stopped with unreadable letters and a big white forbidden symbol

I'll try with different configurations as you have pointed out. [EDIT] I'm using a usb2 16gb stick.

Thank you.

Yes, as per guide, always need to put SATA mode into AHCI mode or use SATA-RAID-unsupported.kext.

Sounds like maybe "still waiting for root device"...
Which means it is a USB problem.
As per guide, try all USB ports. And try with USBInjectAll.kext.

USBInjectAll helped! Now some XPC related errors are appearing:
