I would interpret this as relating to the storage of the VM (virtual
disk devices), but you are referring to the storage used by swtpm,
presumably.

How about:

- typically, swtpm command line parameters should be different if the
  vTPM state directory is on shared storage, and should be the same if
  the vTPM state directory is not shared.
