Which implies that I must be in contact with ATC if
I'm VFR. Is that the significance?


No. ATC will provide STANDARD separation between you and aircraft on an
ALTRV. ATC does not provide separation for VFR aircraft in airspace that
does not require radio contact with ATC.


So a CARF has no significance whatsoever, regardless
of whether I'm planning a VFR or an IFR flight. Which
of course begs the question: Why report a CARF on
a preflight briefing in the first place?
