An Android vbmeta image (vbmeta.img) holds the Android Verified Boot metadata - hashes, signatures and descriptors of the boot partition images - written by avbtool; flashing tools take it wrapped in a .tar.
VMDK files make up a virtual disk. The size of the virtuals disk determines the number of the vmdk files in it.
