What a Site Template Owns

A site template composes the base recipes and adds what is its own: the theme, the pages, the patterns, and the demo content.

Content types come from the base recipes. Varbase Page Base, Varbase Blog Base, Varbase News Base, and Varbase Events Base each provide a content type with its fields, its listing, and its Drupal Canvas content templates. A site template does not repeat them.
