Yes it is, but you could also have a look at wine, which is a windows emulation layer that is a little less overhead than a full fledged VM.
They have a database of apps and how well they install and work: https://appdb.winehq.org/
I've looked at wine. It doesn't work for this program, because it fails to install due to needing to download hardware specific models during installation, that can't be successfully detected and downloaded under wine. On top of that, I then need GPU passthrough to run it even if I do install it.
For the same reason, I haven't had any luck with VMs, because of the lack of GPU passthrough without a second dedicated GPU
