This combination (VrayDistanceTex and displace modifier) works only when displaced object is at coordinate origin.  
Is there any workaround?

I can’t think of any workaround for this, but it’s a bug that we will try to fix.

It is not fixable due to the way modifiers are expected to work in 3ds Max.

A work-around is to use an Edit Mesh or Edit Poly modifier to move the vertices of the plane where you want them to be.
