I have a basic understanding of Vertex Arrays, Vertex Buffer Objects and Shaders. However, I am not sure if I can reuse them or whether the association is bijective.

    Yes you can 🙂

    VBO – controls where your data is stored

    VAO – controls layout and binding (you can have several VAO that points to the same VBO, but in different ordering)

    Shaders – are responsible for doing something with the data, they can be used with different VAO/VBO combinations (but that combination must match attribute layout in the shader of course)
