That's two different stories. If you want to migrate data and images from the old tables into the new VM2 tables, use 'Tools & Migration' - 'Migration* tab.
Use 'Sync Media' if you want to synchronize already existing image files, which are located in the image directories specified in VM2 'Configuration' - 'Templates' - 'Media File Settings' (that's where the image paths are being set in the latest VM2 SVN version), so that VirtueMart 2 recognizes images which you copied or migrated into these image directories.

What do you want to migrate - your VM1.1.x data or just your images?
I suppose this will help to understand how it works: http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Upgrading_VM1_to_VM2_with_provided_packages (http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Upgrading_VM1_to_VM2_with_provided_packages)
