However, I still couldn't use NERDTreeFind it said not an editor command. Seems like the errors have dissapeared after sourcing pathogen.vim but it still doesn't seem to recognize any plugins.

You should not need to source pathogen.vim. But with -u NONE absense
of NERDTreeFind is exactly what you requested: plugins are not loaded.

I also do not know pathogen, but if you run `execute
pathogen#infect()` *after* Vim was started then plugins *are not
loaded by Vim*. VAM in this case sources plugins itself, some other
plugin managers do the same thing AFAIK. But at least VAM in your case
do not load plugins if &loadplugins is false, and it is false with -u
NONE.
