or are you wondering about a mini timeline within the plugin, like i.e. dblue_glitch has? then, a seq, that rewinds itself on stop is enough? that should be easy.

i am at a loss though, when it comes to a real timestamp/songposititon being sent from the host.

hey, basically all plugins whether vst or au can receive transport timecode info from the host. So in theory that would mean sample accurate sync and if you have a snazzy enough patch with positional markers then you could have the sequence in the patch tally with the timeline in the host.

However this is all a bit of a moot for my as I run OSX, for which there is not PdVST! If there was then there would be good times ahead, and it would align Pd more with the whole Max4live thang. I envisage something like Reaktor or Bidules implementation.
