When I started flying VS from LAX back in 2009, flights always departed from T2. UC passengers could use the Air New Zealand lounge, until VS opened their own clubhouse in T2 (the old Air France lounge?). The VS clubhouse shuttered during Covid at the same time they moved flights to TBIT, while keeping check-in at T2. Then check-in was moved to TBIT.
Another check of flight status today shows VS8 departing from gate 133 as you stated, but they have it listed as T2. So you're right; I was wrong and so is VS!
