Looking at the stat block, an Erodaemon has the shapechanger subtype, but does not actually have the change shape ability in its SQ. Does it still have the ability to change shape due to its subtyping, or no?

Having run one many moons back, as I recall, they can shapechange, but their options for doing so are strictly limited to those forms available to them as a result of using their special ability "Object of Desire."
Object of Desire (Su)
While using its detect thoughts ability, an erodaemon can see into the mind of a humanoid and identify the person the target most desires, whether it be a lost loved one or an object of lust. As a full-round action, the erodaemon can change into the form of this desired person as long as the target is a Small, Medium, or Large humanoid. The erodaemon gains a +20 bonus on its Disguise and Bluff checks to impersonate that person and avoid being detected as a fraud, but spells like true seeing negate this effect as normal. This effect ends if the erodaemon attacks any creature. Actions that could reveal the erodaemon as a fraud (such as performing an action that the imitated person would obviously not do, like cast a spell or speak Infernal) require the erodaemon to make an immediate Bluff check to continue the impersonation, with the erodaemon losing some or all of its bonus depending on the severity of the breach (GM’s discretion).
