Yes, because a vFolder doesn't have it's own copy of the message, it
peeks into the original folder for the actual message. So when you
expunge Inbox (for example), all the deleted messages in Inbox will be
removed thus the vTrash folder will no longer be able to see them.
Does that make sense?

There is a vTrash folder for each store, ie: 1 for the Local store and 1
for each IMAP store.

Yes, this would be correct.
