Yes, you should be able to access the C drive. Keep in mind to enable the firewall rule for SMB inbound in case of Windows is used 
I still recommend to set the following advanced settings on the VMs. You will be able to copy & paste VMs between your laptop and the guest os without network connectivity between laptop/client and VM.
Name: Value:
isolation.tools.copy.disable FALSE
isolation.tools.paste.disable FALSE
isolation.tools.setGUIOptions.enable TRUE
Enable content Copy/Paste between VMRC client and Windows/Linux Virtual Machine (57122) (vmware.com)
