In all Magento 2 courses and tutorials recommended to create vendor and then theme in the /app/design/frontend/VENDORNAME/THEMENAME. http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/frontend-dev-guide/themes/theme-create.html for example. But luma and blank theme are located in /vendors/magento/theme-frontend-luma and /vendors/magento/theme-frontend-blank.

Should and may we place theme in vendors? When and why we should do so? If I place new theme it will not be added to DB. Is there any installation procedure, that differs from creation in /app/design/frontend/?

The idea is that you build your theme in app/design/frontend/VENDORNAME/THEMENAME then package it using composer and store it in a repository of your choice. This can be git based or a composer repository private or public.

Then you can add this package to a new install of Magento 2 and install it in the /vendor/ directory.

If you use git clone to install the development version of Mage2 you will find that all code is stored under /app/.

vendors directory is about all the code that wasn't done by you, it's the core & community code. You must never edit or put anything in the vendor directory.
