Thanks for the reply. I'm running LyX 2.1.4 from July 2015. I added more text and indeed if the reference is on the same page, \vref ommits the page mention completely, otherwise it might say previous page or page #. I was also unable to find the "official" documentation on \vref, I found it for \ref and other markers though
