Does anyone have any experience/answers on whether FB baggage benefit will apply on KL-coded VS flight? Or will I have to pay to check in a bag?

Cheers.
What does it say on the VS website? To my knowledge VS does not (yet) offer benefits to FB members but I have seen reports of people booking an AF/KL light fare operated by VS which showed up as Economy Classic on the VS site. If you're handing over the bag directly to VS I believe they won't make you pay because classic includes one bag. However, if you have a connecting flight before the VS flight then it's more difficult to predict: AF/KL would see the light fare so no bag, but then again they would honor your status.
