This is of no relevance to the vhost directive.
vhost only is of relevance to how Squid accepts the requests, not how they
are forwarded.

It also makes Squid pick up the hostname from the Host header.

If there was requests using another Host header then Squid would have
picked this up for the host name instead, with whatever effects this would
have had on the rest of your configration and/or servers.

There should not be any difference in performance.
