As far as I remember, it should be all. Note that the Campaign Classics articles don't cover the Savage Coast only, but describe Lupins and Rakasta in the wider context of Mystara (especially, only a three or four of the Rakasta subraces appear in the Savage Coast, and the article mostly covers Davanian and Skotharian Rakasta breeds).
I'm often tempted to include everything that covers the City States in the subsetting. I seem to recall reading some info that placed goatmen in the mountains around the City States but I can't place which issue it was in . . .

Probably here. And also in the SC MCA. I don't remember anything in VotPA, though.

Good point about the City States. I wasn't really sure whether they should be considered part of the Savage Coast or not. Its the same thing with Hule really which forms a kind of border to the Sind Desert/Serpent Peninsula Region which I guess is neither part of the SC or the Known World?
What elements (if any) from the Red Steel and Savage Baronies box sets didn't make it into the "Savage Coast Campaign book - Characters, Atlas, Adventures"?

Should any of the vapourware products from Bruce Heard's Mystara Reference guide be included for completeness?
Red Steel, Campaign Boxed Set: Our tentative plan for '95 includes the development of the Savage Coast, west of the Known World. This region was colonised by the more disreputable and ruthless people of the Known World: criminals, unscrupulous adventurers, and pawns of Entropy on a quest for power and wealth. Ignored by their Known World cousins, the conquerors forged new empires, unbound by the laws or philosophies of civilisation.
There, they discovered Red Steel, a very precious but poisonous metal that provides special powers, but also can kill if improperly handled. Red Steel affects everyone and everything there, from the kingdoms' economies to their philosophies.
The result is a setting where wars and treachery are as common as dragons in the uplands. Magic, science, or common wealth are a thing of the past, rarities in this violent world. Only ferocious rivalries now remain, opposing the Dark Kingdoms to the native rebels of the Savage Coast.
RSa1 - Red Steel #1 of 2, The Rif-Raf Barons: This adventure brings player characters from the traditional Known World to the Savage Coast. They have been hired to seek valuable merchandise from a local baron, and ship it back to a Minrothad Guild merchant prince. They are authorised to buy the secret merchandise with weaponry that could allow the baron to crush a rebellion. Will they side with their employer? Will they turn to the insurgents? Will they listen to rival barons?
RSa2 - Red Steel #2 of 2, The Slagovich Conspiracy: The wealthy Hierarch of Slagovich dreams of becoming a greater king and is plotting to have various rif-raf barons marry his sisters. But the rebels are watching and plan mischief of their own. The player characters are hired to escort the youngest sister safely across the Gulf of Hule to one of the baronies. The Hierarch plans to have the barons assassinated later and seize power for himself in the name of Greater Slagovich. The plot thickens when the PCs discover the Slagovich Maidens are not the true sister of the Hierarch either. They are impostors serving The Master, Ruler of Hule.

I would say yes, but as some people might not understand the term "vapourware" (and then spend time looking for these on eBay) you might also want to make sure that the fact that they were incomplete/unpublished products is explained in Plain English. (I have actually seen a few products that were said to be vapourware - but already assigned ISBN numbers in advertising blurb - listed on Amazon! )
