So in essence i could actually use plug-ins that i have already installed in another sequencer?

Yes! just config in preferences to have that VST folder be the live VST folder.

Just to clear things up a bit for you: You're not actually installing plug-ins 'in a sequencer'. The plug-ins just get put in a folder somewhere and your sequencers read them from there. In Live, it just so happens that you can also specify a different folder where there are VST plugs as well as your standard one.

Thought that might help.
