You are misunderstanding the instructions. 

If you aren't using Gnome, it's quite possible that nothing on your
system depends on vala, so the "users of vala" description wouldn't
apply to you. Assuming that it is in fact a leaf node, updating (or
removing) it is fine and doesn't even require any special instructions.

telepathy-glib has a runtime dependency on vala, but you'll probably
still be fine doing a normal upgrade of both.
