Yes this method should work for you based on they way you are wanting to migrate!

The old VM1 tables should only have the joomla dbprefix changed to match the new joomla dbprefix

The vm_xxx remains the same so if old joomla prefix is dog and new joomla prefix is cat

dog_vm_product.xxx  becomes cat_vm_product.xxx

You can mass rename using a great piece of freeware- Bulk Rename Utility

Migration
When the migration takes place the data is copied to the relevant new tables with the dbprefix_virtuemart_newtable

The old VM tables remain in the database unchanged for you to review or re-try failed migrations or timeouts

Hey Hutson I've added the 'add to cart' button on to the category page but it's saying 'Choose a product variant first'. I'm quite certain this is an issue from bringing over the products from the older version of Joomla. Would you be familiar with this issue or know any fixes?
