The Stack Overflow FAQ pageStack Overflow FAQ page states:

What kind of questions can I ask here?

if your question generally covers …

  • […]
  • software tools commonly used by programmers
  • […]

… then you’re in the right place to ask your question!

Update (2015-02-06):

Since I originally wrote this answer, the Stack Overflow Help pagesStack Overflow Help pages have been changed, and now they state:

if your question generally covers…

  • [...]
  • software tools commonly used by programmers; and is
  • a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development

… then you’re in the right place to ask your question!

So questions about Vim are currently on-topic only if they are "unique to software development". So for example a question about cindent would be on-topic, but a question about autoindent might not be, depending on context, and a question about how macros work definitely would not be.

If you're looking for somewhere else to post your question, might I suggest the dedicated Vi and Vim Stack Exchange site, currently in public beta.
