I found this component: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/virtuemart-extensions/virtuemart-administration/14403 that would generate a file for Google Shopping, but is there a component that does this PLUS can keep the products updated with a Google API so we would not have to keep generating a new file for modifications in the products?

I'm not sure what do you mean. Keep the products updated where?
The idea is to make a connection between the Products database and the Google Shopping store. If we make an update on the VM side, is there a way that the Google Shopping store will automatically update? Or do we have to manually update via the XML file?
Is API the ONLY way to do this automatically?
I don't even know if there IS an API method for automation. If you know of a method that would allow for syncing VM Products with the Google Shop, please do let me know. I'm open to suggestions.
At this point you could dig some Google pages about its Google Shop. You need to find some details about syncing (two-side process btw). You could report here if you'll have some questions. We could keep discussing here about this.
