So what is done in current implementation, when System State VSS provider is triggered? Do I have to specify files to be backed up myself or that will be done automatically?

VSS provides a snapshot of the filesystem with all Applications which are "VSS-aware" taking care of a consistent state of their files in the snapshot. So related to the Systemstate the OS will take care that the files are usable and readable by the Backup System. If you restore a snapshot backup on a new disk all the files included in the Systemstate are there as they should. The only thing missing is to "automatically" repair a System without restoring the whole (boot-)volume.
