According to vBulletin, you are incorrect.
Here are a few entries out of many:

By default, vBulletin will install the files for the Administrators' Control Panel into a folder called admincp, but you may wish to rename this folder this for security purposes. -- The Official vBulletin Manual

We have it renamed on our site to avoid bots crawling the internet for vb sites to hack it to get a score. -- Floris (vBulletin Staff)

Quote:

If you're looking to make your board safer, it would make more sense to rename the admincp directory (and set the variable in the config.php file) as well as passwordprotecting the directory with htaccess. -- Colin F (vBulletin Staff)

Thats all i am going to add as I do not wish to further derail this thread
