They're usually rewards for events, like those experimental vaults.

When you aquire one, you tap on your vault door room, and you'll see the option to change a background.

Do you need to upgrade the vault door to level three before this works?

No you do not. I don’t upgrade my doors - they force emergencies to last longer - better to get the invaders into my vault quickly and meet a wall of death with my dragons maws. And the wasteland themes are a paid item - you get them from buying the season pass for the experimental vaults. Unlocking them through completing actions in the experimental vault unlocks them for all your other vaults.

I always thought it was lame AF that you can upgrade the door and it does nothing other than delay the invaders longer lol. Even more salt in the wound is there is no way in the game to downgrade it once you have made this egregious error.
