I've played an absolute fuckton of DCSS and it is true. There are small "blocks" that you'll see over and over that are exactly the same. The best example I can give is the room Crazy Yiuf hangs out in with the tree hallway leading to it.

That is a vault

Edit: not to be confused with the Vaults floor*

Vaults are custom handcrafted rooms.
