To be honest I can not understand: "What is the role of plugin enabled 
by `config.berkshelf.enabled = true` ?"

or

What is the role of berks in virtual machine created by vagrant, with 
config defined option `config.berkshelf.enabled = true` ?

1. This is for testing cookbooks with chef-solo on workstation?

2. To upload defined in Berksfile cookbooks(from working machine or 
somewhere else but with berks instead of chef-client) in a 
virtualmachine provisioned by vagrant ?

So I used opensource chef-server in our localnetwork. And most of all 
i'am interested in deploy our and community cookbooks on production 
virtual machines (lxc).

May be my questions is not good. May be I need some time to read a 
documentation of berks and vagrant. There is no doubt of course.

Why not use only vagrant with defined chef cookbooks ?

Thank youf or help.
