VGA is just a graphics standard. 640x480 is the part you need to worry about. Sometimes you will hear someone say "VGA" and they usually mean 640x480. Sometimes 720x480.
Back in the days where 640x480 monitors were common, those monitors were often referred to as VGA. The connectors that connected the computer to the monitor were also called VGA cables. But those cables have survived and are often still used today to connect to monitors or projectors at much higher resolutions than 640x480.
