Yes, order in that binary section (where are defined curves for glyphs) 
is unrelated. But mapping from TFM index to glyph name is in that 
/Encoding 256 array.

Mess on ctan?? Now I do not understand... On ctan is only one package of 
MetaFont sources of CSFonts [1] and for some subset of CSFonts there is 
package of Type 1 variants [2]. But package [2] depends on [1] (you 
cannot install [2] without [1]).

Or do you see some other CSFonts packages on ctan?

And about vf files for CSFonts, they are not needed at all. If they are 
present then it spares disk space of bitmaps PK fonts (as CSFonts are 
just extension to CMFonts which share MetaFont sources). See description 
in file: texmf/fonts/vf/public/cm2cs/README.
