If makes $VIP a local address without actually having it configured on
any interface.

Nothing. But the packets from the director to the real server are not
processed by the latter unless their destination address (the VIP) is a
local address on the real server. Either you configure it on some
interface and handle the "ARP problem", or you make the VIP(s) local via
routing.
Actually, you can add whole IPv4 subnets to your loopback interface with
equivalent effect: "ip addr add XXX.YYY.ZZZ.0/24 dev lo", which adds the
corresponding local route. You can't do this with IPv6 ranges, but you
can directly "ip route add local aaaa:bbb:cc:d::/64 dev lo" (on modern
Linux kernels).
