Okay, that last trio is rather different than the standard Dracula trope vampires before them, but being druids they are likely going to remain neutral hermits anyhow. That's all for now. To sum up, yes there are many vampires in Greyhawk, and in positions of great power; just not any kind of organized vampire families or bloodlines of note. Maybe that's a good thing.

The only one I knew about was Ctenmiir in White Plume Mountain. Thanks for the list.
Rajaat: Yeah I really had to do my homework to find these!
Prince Thrommel was turned into a vampire in the 3e module Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil.
Hahaha, yeah I was avoiding him because *spoilers*. Also, I think it's an awful idea
I'm probably forgetting something, but I don't remember there being any way for the players to know who he was. Maybe if they thought to make a Knowledge (nobility and royalty) check they could recognize him. But I don't think there were any hints that they should do that, so it would come down to the DM calling for the check. In which case the players will realize, "Hey, this guy must be important!" even if they roll low. And even if they do recognize him for whatever reason, he attacks anyway. You can't afford to mess around when dealing with a vampire, so the party is probably just going to slay him and go on about their business. So yeah, it was a really strange thing to include.
