Yes, you probably have to do it for both the installations, 
since teTeX still looks in the global $VARTEXFONTS directory.
Clearly, teTeX isn't really designed to handle situations with
several different versions of the same font files since all the
standard TeX fonts have been stable for many years now.

Also, depending on your specific installation, this may happen
anyway. Look in the file pointed to by 
kpsewhich -format='web2c files' mktex.cnf
If the MT_FEATURES variable contains 'varfonts', the fonts will
always be generated in $VARTEXFONTS even if you have write 
permission in the texmf tree.

No, that's just the first time each font is used. You could add
soft links for the directories below pk/ljfour/public/ that 
are not related to Lilypond from your own VARTEXFONTS directory
to the default one where you already have the fonts built.
