I assume .wav files are needed to keep track of how long a sound actually is (e.g. for looping sounds in ambient_generic) .vmt files are needed to keep track of surface properties (Footstep-sounds, dustclouds when bullets hit them?) But i don't see any reason why a server would need all the .vtf files, too - they look kinda unneded to me as the server doesn't do any actual rendering.
