Okay.

Yes, you can. That's what the docstring says: "can also be used for
projects outside of VC repositories".
But "VC project" is a proper noun in this usage. Basically, a "VC
project" is whatever value (if non-nil) that is returned by project-try-vc.
It's meaningful to have some proper noun for this, because this project
type has customization variables, and it's handy to be able to use them
for projects outside of VC repositories as well, recognized according to
the new option.
Like the patch also says (and what's given me a pause in the past), that
also makes "VC project" somewhat a misnomer. But I'm not sure what to
call them better, and renaming a whole bunch of symbols creates a
backward incompatibility after all. Even though, luckily, we've asked
people not to rely on that object's internals.
