Yes you'll need the 'spice-vdagent' to be running for copy and pasting
and all those features.

Well it's about the availability. Yes means, it is available and Built
in means that it is already built-in and does not need any extra

This table is intended to provide sufficient information to retrieve the

package is specified. I updated the Wiki with a footnote to clarify
what's required.
