So, one cannot just set any mode, unless that mode is already defined in

Theoretically, not correct. VBE 3.0 allows arbitrary mode setting - not
only vertical refresh, but all mode parameters (the ones appearing in X
modelines). This is supported by both svgalib and uvesafb. I don't know
on how many VBE3 cards this feature really works, but it does work for
some cards.
