Some Vex speculation here.

There's something strangely religious about the Vex; their sacrifices on Venus, their Burning Shrine on Mercury. We also know they traveled back in time.

Where was that confirmed? I don't think they've said anything about time travel since spring other than saying they seem like they're from another place and time. (Yes, this is largely wishful thinking on my part because I don't want it involved, but it's because time travel has a tendency to ruin plot-lines and make everything in a story not matter. Even basing the story around time travel isn't a guarantee things will turn out fine, Back to the Future II proves that.)

Yes. Chris Barrett said this about them last December:

They’re creating armies. They’re creating these big warp gates around the solar system. They can potentially bring in armies from elsewhere. They might time travel or come from another distant time. Where they came from or when they came from is inscrutable. They’re not shiny, brand new, right off of the assembly line. They’re made of almost something that feels like hammered brass or something that could be thousands of years old. But that mixed with the robotic design of them gives you that [feel] of ancient robots.

More recently there was this bit of promotion about the Vex having Pocket Worlds beyond space and time.

You might not like it, but questions surrounding when they come from is part of their story.
