Not exactly. This has to do with the window manager in X. Some (most?)
window managers have a resource/setting/option called window placement
policy. In your case the default must be something like "ask", which
lets the user place the window. Other possible settings are "random"
or even "smart". If you are using twm (as the vncserver script calls
by default), check the man pages for twm.
As you can tell by now, this is window manager specific, and not a
whole lot to do with X per se.
