How long does it take for a vac ban to show up?
It is only after a delay of "days or even weeks" that the account is permanently banned from "VAC Secure" servers for that game, possibly along with other games that use the same engine (e.g. Valve's Source games, GoldSrc games, Unreal Engine games). Valve never discloses which cheat was detected.

Is a vac ban for all games?
If I am VAC banned on CS:GO, can I still play CS:S. without a problem? Any game where VAC is securing the game, you won't be able to play. Any game that is single player or played on a LAN is okay, but it must not be secured by VAC.

VAC bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be removed by Steam Support. If a VAC ban is determined to have been issued incorrectly it will automatically be removed.

Is rust a vac protected game?
Hard to say, Rust does use VAC, however, a VAC ban will only usually be given on VAC-protected servers (or really most official servers). For community or modded servers, you'll usually only be banned from that specific server or all servers from that host.
