It is a bit unclear to me to be honest. I think it is not affected because Cloud director (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/87068?lang=en_US) is on the list of NOT impacted products. I also see a line that Tenant App for vROPs is removed in the changelog. And it is not listed on https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2021-0028.html as affected.  If you want to be sure i recommend to contact VMware.

Is VMware tools installed on those servers? Memory|Utilization (KB) is preferred as it uses guest OS memory. If you want to bypass that, you can use Guest|Needed Memory (KB) for the guest OS point of view and Memory|Consumed (KB) for the host's point of view. Check out below blog as well, despite it is from 2019 it's still valid. https://blogs.vmware.com/management/2019/01/enhancements-to-virtual-machine-memory-metrics-in-vrealize-operations.html
