The vin number stickers placed on body panels at the factory are likely only there for purposes of matching parts to parts... Its common for companies to run a 'batch jobs' for expediency - as in bumpers, all painted with the same lot paint. Like bumpers painted on Monday would be earmarked for bodies painted and assembled on Monday from the same lot paint - but maybe interior parts are installed on Monday and the bumper may not be installed till Tuesday. What better way to identify disassembled parts meant for assembly than to mark them with a vin number?
