I believe that any reservation booked via points is eligible for the early registration for MM events.

Do VB stays count towards moonlight magic? Or do you have to be at WDW?

Yes. As @Sandisw already stated, points reservation are eligible. A member cash reservation made through DVC would also be eligible.

Eligible list of resorts is at the bottom of this page:

Vero is eligible, Hilton Head is not. (That would be quite a drive though!)

In 2020, just before COVID, we had a week booked at VB and we were able to get a reservation for a MM at MK in the middle of our stay. We put a waitlist for one night at AKV and got it, so it was very convenient. We returned to VB in the early morning after the Moonlight. My daughters were very excited to have a vacation during a vacation!!
