Quick question about .var .vac

Is it true that EVERY .vac should be placed in addon and EVERY .var in scenes?? I have a lot of look that have some .vac in the custom/.../... folder, should I place them in the addon folder? And If I'm not sure of where to put a .vac, can I just save it everywhere it might be usefull without problems? Thanks

.vac should go inside saves/scene/whatever
.vac is extracted on "ExampleScene.vac" load (inside same folder you placed it)
