That should come as no surprise. If Vienna is run as a stand-alone executable and has focus, of course it will receive all keystrokes. That's how every Windows application works.

Are you sure you're running Vienna as a VST and not as a stand-alone executable? It shouldn't be possible for CbB to hide a plug-in that has been instantiated from within the application.

This is very interesting, but  want to get a simple answer to a simple question-)  From VEP manual: "Transport Play/Stop button, which is transmitted to the master host as well (Space key). Now you can start and stop your playback from within Vienna Ensemble PRO"   It works with Сubase, Studio 1 and Reaper and doesn't work with Cakewalk. Is there a solution?

Make sure that you have Cakewalk highlighted and not VEPro when you hit the spacebar,

This is how Cakewalk works. The question was "How to solve this problem"? Because other DAW's do not require focusing on themselves and will start/stop normally even from under a remote desktop on another machine.
