Export as vmdk is not OVA. Few VMware admins know what to do with a VMDK these days. I tried with VirtualBox, but it produces ancient (SHA1) OVAs, which the latest VMware refuses to process. I did not found a workaround, and wound up having to use a VMWare Workstation installation on a Windows10 game machine. VMWork Station for Linux won't install unless you have some ancient GCC 8 available, which is really daft, since gcc 11 should work just fine.
