VM Tcp uses the VTAM linemode console support to do linemode telnet (not tn3270) support. Do a telnet to your VM system and log in, then do a q names. You'll see
user - TCPIPn as a 'terminal id'. At the time that code was written, I don't think LDEVs did line mode and there was a requirement to support plain telnet so they grabbed the SNA console support which did, thus the VSM indicator. It's handy for doing system automation stuff - much easier to drive from Programs than LDEVs.
