Three types of rules are available:

How do I know if my VMware is encrypted?
After assigning the VM encryption policy, you will see the Encryption section under the virtual machine properties populated with the status of VM configuration files are encrypted.
Is a VM encrypted?
VM encryption supports the encryption of virtual machine files, virtual disk files, and core dump files. Some of the files associated with a virtual machine like log files, VM configuration files, and virtual disk descriptor files are not encrypted. In case of any failure, only the VM in question would be affected.
Are VMDK files encrypted?
Both VM Home files (VMX, snapshot, etc) and VMDK files are encrypted. Because encryption happens at the hypervisor level and not in the VM, the Guest OS and datastore type are not a factor. Encryption of the VM is agnostic. Encryption is managed via policy.
Can you BitLocker a VM?
Virtual machines do not have TPM chips. Nevertheless you can use BitLocker inside VMs by reconfiguring it to store the keys on a floppy drive, an external USB drive or even another local hard disk. It is supported to bitlocker VHDX files in this configuration at least on Windows 10 or Server 2016 machines.
