In all supported versions of Ubuntu vlc.h is provided by libvlc-dev. This package contains headers and a static library required to build standalone applications that use VLC features. To install libvlc-dev open the terminal and type: 

sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev

When libvlc-dev is installed, the path to vlc/vlc.h is /usr/include/vlc/vlc.h

@karel answer is the correct one. But in the spirit of "teach them to fish": if you need to find which package provides a certain file, install apt-file 

sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file update

(repeat the update from time to time) and then, in your case: 

[romano:~] % apt-file search vlc/vlc.h    
libvlc-dev: /usr/include/vlc/vlc.h
