As these are SMS managed volumes, a VVDS will be allocated with the first dataset allocated to that volume regardless of DSORG. See Defining a VVDS (catalog Volume Data Set) in z/OS V1R11.0 DFSMS Managing Catalogs.
Also from the same section: A VVDS is defined with the name SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser, where volser is the volume serial number of the volume containing the VVDS. SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser does not have to be cataloged in the master catalog.
