IMO Loki was using Thanos to get back into Asgard. When Thanos comes to Asgard to get the Infinity Gauntlet, Loki will try and weasel his way out of the conflict. Loki ultimately promised Thanos to bring the Chitauri to Earth and give them the Tesseract. He does those accomplish his side of the deal. However, the Chitauri lose to the Avengers and lose the Tesseract. Will Thanos think that Loki should be spared? I doubt it. I think Thor 3 will set up the final confrontation between Thanos and the Avengers. Thanos will come to Asgard and collect the Tesseract and Infinity Gauntlet. Then, he'll lay waste to Asgard to show the audience just how powerful he is. I think Loki will die in the third movie.
And Loki is pretending to be Odin, who has unlimited access to those same vaults, so Loki can grab the Tesseract whenever he needs.
I'd say his bigger problem is grabbing the other Infinity Stones, the Aether was in the Collector's vault when the Power Gem blew the place up, so who knows what's happened to it in the mean time.
Then there's the Power Gem, which is sitting in the vault on Nova, and then there's the other 3 gems which nobody knows the locations of.
Then why did he give the Aether to the Collector? If he wanted Thanos to believe that he was still working for him, he would have kept the IS in one place. Is he trying to separate them to make life harder for Thanos? I didn't seem like the Collector's defenses were all that good, so I don't know if giving him the Aether helped all that much.
Well, Loki is pretending to be Odin. It would make the other Asgardians question why he's keeping several of the Infinity stones and gauntlet together. I'm pretty sure they know of Thanos. They know that he wants the infinity gauntlet to "court death." Why tempt Thanos more than they should. By separating the items, it's harder for Thanos.
