vadddomain just creates the directory in /home/vpopmail/domains and adds that domain to rcpthosts. So if you just scp over rcpthosts, assign, any other control files (apart from "me") and /home/vpopmail you should be OK.

No, this is fine -- it guarantees that the mails have unique file names. Programs don't try to extract information from the filename.
"A unique name can be anything that doesn't contain a colon (or slash) and doesn't start with a dot." (from http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html)
