There is a node that all shaders are connected to "defaultShaderList1". It's this node that when you type ls -mat the connections are returned from (you could connect any node to this and it would be returned as a material). It's also this node that is used to show the materials in the hypershade tab. So by unconnecting the vray materials from this node. The hypershade wont see them. Side effect is ls -mat wont see them either. You could disconnect them from this node and connect them to a dummy node. Or just scan nodes of type and reconnect them.
