The ftdetect directory is meant to contain scripts to be sourced by filetype.vim, i.e., usually once per session when you do ":filetype [plugin] [indent] on", to set up BufReadPost,BufNewFile autocommands for filetype-detection. You could put those same autocommands in ~/.vim/filetype.vim but the idea of separate scripts is to make them easier to drop when distributing a series of scripts to support a new filetype (let's say "foobar") by means of, let's say, a filetype-detection script ~/.vim/ftdetect/foobar.vim, a filetype-plugin ~/.vim/ftplugin/foobar.vim, a syntax plugin ~/.vim/syntax/foobar.vim, an indent plugin ~/.vim/indent/foobar.vim, and a helpfile ~/.vim/doc/pi-foobar.txt, maybe all packed together as a compressed vimball in .vba.gz format.
