Does it work?
You can restart X and grep the X log to see if it's used.

To test you can use smplayer and then go into the preferences for video and select VDPAU.

To clarify If you installed it using: "sudo pacman -S mesa-vdpau" Then you didn't install it from the AUR you installed it from an official repository, in the case of mesa-vdpau you used the Extra Repository.
In this case it appears that you installed the drivers correctly.
And now what i have to do or its installed and configured ?
As far as I know, there isn't much more configuration for the drivers. That being said, if your goal is to get a graphical interface running, have you completed these steps?
