Two options: 

1) 

(setq org-agenda-filter-preset '("-VOCAB"))


2) 

(setq org-agenda-skip-function 
      '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'regexp ":VOCAB:"))

Either of these should work. Note: they will apply to all of your agenda
views. I.e., you'll have to adjust the local setting of the variable
appropriately in your custom agenda commands if you want to see :VOCAB:
items in a particular view.

Best,
