Just to clarify, the button actually says VDC Off

I like to think of the entire configuration of multiple systems (VDC, ABLS, Yaw sensor, etc) as the traction control. To turn off traction control (i.e. everything) you have to wire up a yaw switch like you mentioned. The button turns off VDC independently, leaving other systems like ABLS still operational. The dash lights are an easy way to identify which traction control systems are on/off.
