Is there any manual or tutorial for VRI Bridge? Specifically, how do you "code" what shall be shown on the displays of the VRInsight MCP Combo II.

Those are RPN string expressions, as described in the simulators SDK documentation and briefly in the AAO manual. You need a bit of knowledge of RPN scripting and simulator variables for that. 

The best starting point is downloading a ready-made package for the Bridge, for example from the .to site, and analyzing what the authors have done.

Quick question on the Bridge, do you start it after AAO?

Doesn't really matter. The Bridge tries to access the web API for a couple of minutes. 

But to be safe, starting the Bridge after AAO has connected to the sim is the safest bet.

You could use an RPN script to start the bridge when the plane loads.
Example:

ScriptGroup: Scripts
ScriptName: StartVRIBridge
ScriptCode: (EXEC:D:\VRI_Bridge\VRItoLorbyAAOBridge.exe)

D:\VRI_Bridge is where I put the bridge exe and DLL.

This script you assign as an "Aircraft automated Script", "One Shot", "Beginning" to the current aircraft
Then it will always be executed automatically when that aircraft configuration is loaded into AAO
