The data writes to the vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder.
The htaccess file directs the link to load that location.
calling sitemap_index.xml.gz actually calls vbseo_sitemap/data/getsitemap.php?sitemap=index.xml.gz by way of the htaccess file.
Google wants your urls to reflect the folder it is in. So, unless you want to make your whole public html area writable (a stupid and horrible idea), using mod_rewrite is the way to do it.
