My understanding is that Visual C++ connects to a Linux server, copies the source over, and then compiles it. That's why openssh-server, g++, etc. should be installed beforehand. If Visual C++ is "aware" that the project is managed by CMake then it could invoke CMake on the server side first, and then compile it. It makes me feel like your question should really be to Microsoft and whether they support remotely invoking CMake as opposed to asking if CMake would support Visual C++. From the perspective of CMake, it would be executed on the Linux server and would not need to be aware of Visual C++. As I'm not a CMake developer, of course, do not take my word on this since I'm not an expert. Perhaps others might have something else to add...
