The vcpkg port doesn't enable any python features. (Maybe I know how to 
wire this stuff, but IIRC it gets tricky with debug builds on MSVC.)

Executables are installed in <install_root>/tools/gdal. You may need 
extra environment variables to help them locate data files.

vcpkg is not a general-purpose package manager. The focus is on 
providing *libraries*  for (C,C++) application developers.
