According to my understanding, MVS/zOS has nothing to do with virtual machines, except that in practice it typically runs under hypervisor. But hypervisor is in no way a part of MVS.
V in the name "MVS" is for "virtual storage" which is old IBM's term for virtual memory.
And yes, IBM had virtual memory working several years before VMS, but probably not before few (non-DEC) researchers managed to bolt it on top of DEC PDP-10.
Anyway, according to Wikipedia, both DEC and IBM were late to commercial virtual memory, 5-10 years behind Burroughs B5000.
