. . . easily. Know that I'm speaking from a place of ignorance, but technically, any information VSCode has access to is up for grabs. And all you can do is 'disable telemetry' (which is of course not a functionality you can verify via the MIT-licensed GitHub repo).
On the other hand, it depends on just how involved Microsoft is with its telemetry programs. They could have algos that dynamically decide which apps on which machines or groups of machines are going to monitor and report on which information today. Or, they could have every program on most machines collect and send the same type of information for months on end.
To the end user, it doesn't matter; there is no grounds for trust in their judgment on the matter of telemetry. If they want your code, they could easily make that happen.
