I am making a large flower box next to a building. The bottom is block but the dirt would also be directly on my vinyl siding. Should I put some kind of buffer between the dirt and my building?

For trouble even with concrete block you may be asking for trouble even with concrete block you would do well to keep that space between any soil.
The rafters not likely but possible as minimum you may be asking for termite tunnels unless your building this is concrete block you would.
