If you are interested in learning to mod dota2 the way I learned and recommend is by learning to create custom arcade maps. Nearly everything you learn there will apply to modding the dota2 map. https://moddota.com/

VPK files are how assets are loaded into the game and also how all assets in dota2 are loaded, VPK files are not hacks and will never get anyone banned because they are part of the development process for the modding community to create custom arcade maps and cosmetics, which thousands of people are doing and Valve teaches how to do on their wiki.
If you have Minify already then adding vpk files is fast.
Go to Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\dota_minify
Rename your other vpk file to "pak02_dir.vpk" and drop it in that folder
Done.
You can have as many vpk files as you want if you name them numerically like below.
Some mods you download wont be packaged so you have to do it yourself, it's just drag and drop so it's easy.
