I guess VSpace defaults to defskip.
But why do you use a VSpace here? The indendation is a horizontal space. As
long as you do not want to do fancy things, I guess a Length would be more
suitable.
Anyway, setting defskip to 30 pt strikes me wrong. This might be the default
in the LaTeX kernel, but any class (or in fact the user) might set defskip to
another value.
As to the default when the dialog is created: I think the UI should contain a
combo with at least the choices "Default" and "Custom", defaulting to default.
The \setlength{\parindent} thing should only be output to the preamble if the
user choses not "Default", i.e., if he explicitly sets a custom value for the
indendation (many classes, especially for specific publishers, define their
own parindent which must not be overwritten by LyX).
