Maybe this helps:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Documentation

But note the first paragraph:

	We're still working on documenting the whole language.
	The current draft can be found at Manual. It covers
	most of the language and is heavily annotated, but
	may contain mistakes.

Probably not really what you're looking for (like something with
a "statement index")...

https://valadoc.org/

It seems that documentation is not a top priority. ;-)
