Yes, but the option to disable it is "--noautoremove".
So, the OP would have had to specify that option for vlc-core not to have been removed.
And, since the OP did say, "When I reinstalled Vlc /usr/lib64/vlc
repopulated with good stuff" and you've determined
that the contents of /usr/lib64/vlc is mainly part of the core package it is pretty clear
what did occur.
FWIW, it is too bad the OP did rm on ./.config/vlc. It would have been interesting to see
what would have
happened if that directory was just moved and then moved back to see if it had something
to do with
the issue.
