openGL ES versions on different devices

Android 2.2 and higher supports Open GL ES 2.0, so as of Feb 2 that is 58.4% of phones.
Android 1.6 and higher supports Open GL ES 1.1, so that is about 96% of phones.

I think you'll be good with 1.1.

Android OpenGL-ES VBO support or not?

Some phones support it, some do not. Generally, VBOs are mandatory in OpenGL 1.1, so if the device reports

gl.glGetString(GL10.GL_VERSION);

as 1.1 or higher (you can also write the app manifest file so that 1.1 is required for the installation) then they are supported.

If the device support OpenGL ES 1.0 only, you should check the return value of

gl.glGetString(GL10.GL_EXTENSIONS);

whether it contains ARB_vertex_buffer_object or not. Probably it will.

For (slightly) related information about various GL capabilities of Android devices, you can find some at this question: OpenGL extensions available on different Android devices.

Does Every Device Which has Android Froyo 2.2(API 8) Supports OpenGL ES 2.0?

I got the answer of my own question. OpenGL ES is a hardware-acceleration Graphics library so it is not necessary that every device which supports Adroid froyo Supports OpenGL ES 2.0. It entirely depends on OS Software and Hardware.Different devices listed here with there extensions which has Android froyo but supports OPenGL ES 1.0
