have a look at whats happening through Bridge when camera raw is used to
open up a file.

That does indeed make no sense, and that's not what Adobe says either.
Vibrance increases the saturation, but not for all colors to the same
extend (as Saturation does). It increases unsaturated colors more than
saturated colors, and it tries to preserve skintones in the process.
Does that make sense?

The easy version:
You can increased the saturation of all colors across contrast ranges or
only the colors within a limited contrast range, in this case sort of the
mid-tones for Vibrance.
How useful the Vibrance tool is for you is, of course, a matter of taste.
Color ranges that correspond to, ahem, Caucasian flesh tones, can be
numerically excluded. Nikon NX has this feature also.
There are other ways to amplify the midtones, including a well documented
trick using Lab color mode.
