No, you cannot run such software on z/VM. The phrasing is very, very
poor. What they really mean would be something like: "You may be able to
consolidate work currently running on Windows and other UNIX platforms
by use of equivalent software which can run on Linux on System z, if
such software exists." But marketing never likes to phrase things like
that.

The following link makes it sound like you can run Linux and MS
Windows virtual servers on z/VM 5.3. Is this the case? We are looking
for a Main Frame / Enterprise Server that will run x86 based OSs like
Linux and MS Windows.
