The other day I was in sport mode and thinking the same thing. The engine sure feels different ! Smooth and responsive .

VCM is most noticeable at steady speed,like 29,39, 49, 59 mph.Never on while accelerating.

VCM is activating when cruising like you stated or when decelerating

It is most noteable when you are slowing down or cruising real lite on the throttle and you step back into it, accelerate. You can feel a little double studder in the acceleration. Most people won’t notice it but there is a small group of people that will feel it.
