Yes, Search Engines have no problem spidering vBulletin.

Under normal circumstances search engines should have no problem indexing vBulletin, your fora, threads and posts. However, people like Dani from DaniWeb have written WONDERFUL guides on how to SEO your fora and there are also custom products like vB SEO that are currently available.

Search engine spiders don't really have any problem spidering dynamic links at this point. But if you want to just for your satisfaction you can use free plugin from www.vbulletin.org to turn all vbulletin links into search engine friendly urls. For example: http://www.relforums.com/. You will notice all the forum links in my community have the .html extension.
