"Is this flag sent over composite/SVideo?

Yes, both, as it is necessary for the analog color circuits to work.

In VCRs it is carried in the color-under signal just like the color subcarrier for the image content, since it is just a sample of the reference chrominance subcarrier. It is used in the VCR's special fast acting correction circuitry to take out variations due to mechanical tolerances and provide a stable chrominance signal for output to the TV.
