This is not so in all cases. D0 & D1 were indeed set far away from Varisia. However W1 Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale is set just to the south of Varisia, along an abandoned trade route between that region and Cheliax.
So, in this case, the information in the players guide is pretty useful (in regards to history and background) for running W1. Likewise, having W1 might also be useful in running Rise of the Runelords since it takes place not too far to the south (definitely within traveling distance, I would think), and probably could be used as a side-quest. On the map of Varisia in the Player's Guide, there's even an arrow at the bottom (south end) of the map indicating the direction to "Bloodsworn Vale".
I seem to remember either Erik, James or Jason stating on the Paizo boards that some of the GameMastery modules would be set far away from Varisia, while others would be quite close or even take place in Varisia. In fact, D2 Seven Swords of Sin is supposed to be set in Kaer Maga which is also in Varisia.
