Vphysics shadow objects are for objects that are controlled by the game logic. They follow the motion that happened in the game world and cause the corresponding physical effects. The player is a special case that accepts feedback from vphysics.
Anyway, you don't have to have specific bbox objects in your mod if you don't want to. You can create them dynamically as the players change size. It's just a little faster if you cache them so HL2 does. Or if your mod has no vphysics at all, you can just skip the shadow objects and set the size directly in the entity.
