Time Machine has nothing to do with Windows files and if you used it to back up the VMs on your Mac, I would keep my fingers crossed. Time Machine is a notoriously problematic method for backing up Fusion VMs. Also if you have linked clones or snapshots, that’s a more complicated situation.
It almost sounds like you had snapshots in your VM and you’re trying to access an older snapshot.
