From joomla 3.0 onwards a layout sharing feature is introduced, using it you can call a layout across views or extensions. It requires creating a layout object and then render the view using that object as:
$layout = new JLayoutFile('my_layout', $basePath = JPATH_ROOT .'/components/com_something/layouts');
$html = $layout->render();
this will render the 'my_layout.php' layout file found in JPATH_ROOT .'/components/com_something/layouts' directory. So you can try the above code in your plugin to call your component view if you are using joomla 3.0+
For more details check this page :- https://docs.joomla.org/Sharing_layouts_across_views_or_extensions_with_JLayout

I don't use Virtuemart, but if it follows Joomla's standard then you can override its default layout to supports JLayout. Here are some useful articles: docs.joomla.org/… and docs.joomla.org/Understanding_Output_Overrides Jul 9, 2015 at 17:03
