By default VirtualPlanetBuilder creates paged databases that use osgTerrain::TerrainTile for the representation and rendering of the individual terrain tiles. The height field component (HeightFieldLayer) is uses an osg::HeightField internally to store all the heights, no normals are stored. The normals used for rendering at created by the TerrainTechnique, if you use the default osgTerrain::GeometryTechnhique then it'll create an osg::Geometry with vertices, normals and texcoords to do the rendering. If you use the DisplacementMappingTechnique then it'll be the shaders that that will compute the normals in the vertex shader.
