SANE includes many backends and a few frontends. There are also
"external" frontends for sane backends and "external" backends for sane
frontends.

All frontends I know are scanimage, xscanimage, xsane, gimp (uses
xscanimage or xsane), saned.

VueScan is a different product with its own frontend and backend.
VueScan and SANE are different products that do not talk each other.

An example of an "external" sane backend is HPAIO, parts of the HP Linux
Printing and Imaging System.
