Have you take a look at

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/converting_rewrite_rules.html
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#try_files

or the worst case ;-)

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=vbulletin+nginx

=> First link in my response
https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/preparefiles_nginx

and as your now on learning and reading maybe this link will help you 
too.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html
