I changed a reward reservation a few months ago to London and instead of returning from LHR on the 4pm VS departure (VS1), I was only able to select the 7pm departure (VS17). When I re-booked I asked about the flight I wanted and they told me they don't see it. I am guessing because it was not a codeshare.
You can definitely book non-codeshare flights for VS reward seats. Why they didn't see that flight when you were looking could be because they were looking only for CO flights or because they were looking for the wrong fare bucket. But you can definitely book non-codeshare VS flights for reward redemption.
