Yeah, all you need to do is put them in the main FS directory. You should see the other vp's that came with the game there, too (DO NOT  get rid of them!)

Don't download the VP files from the FTP. YOu can get them here (http://scp.indiegames.us/download.php?list.2) instead.

If you're looking at the VP files on Fractux's FTP they are probably old and his bandwidth is better served being used by people trying to turn the downloaded HotU version of FS2 into a full version.
