the v is for voluntary.
Basically, the percentage of hands in which you voluntarily put money into the pot preflop.
So obviously, outside of the blinds, if you limp, raise, call, regardless of whether there is a flop (including hands where you put money in and fold to a raise), the hand counts.
Completing in the sb counts.
The only way you can see a flop and not have the hand count is if it is checked to you in the bb and you check to close the action.
