It does,

:help vimfiles
:helpgrep vimfiles

but not explicitly in the file containing ":help new-filetype".

It would make the Vim documentation very wordy to mention both
$HOME/.vim for Unix and $HOME/vimfiles for Windows everywhere that
directory is referred to, so it is expected that the reader knows
that in most cases where "~/.vim" is used, that that directory is
used on Unix and that the Windows equivalent is $HOME/vimfiles.
