Your method is ingenious and surely interesting (and I think there have been few studies which considered spaces not to be true spaces). I always assumed spaces to be real spaces, if not because they are the most frequent character in the VMS, just as in every other language. But equating spaces to vowels works too, because after eliminating the spaces from a text the remaining most abundant characters are vowels.
A problem I see is that, if I understood correctly, the cipher will always encrypt the same plaintext string to the same encrypted string, which should create many cases where the same Voynichese words repeat in the text, which is not what is observed.
