What about i/o ?

I know we have nice and ionice. And things running that are in the idle i/o scheduling class will not impact the i/o of other process to much.

Does the groupscheduling also handle i/o scheduling ? Or maybe just when asked to do so ?

I/O scheduling is a different controller, and it's not quite as far along as group CPU scheduling, but it's getting there. Some recent coverage in this article and this one too.
