RVC runs against the vSphere API, it doesn't provide in-guest tools for detecting the environment. I am not sure how they are at all related.

But to answer your question: If you turn on the "vApp/OVF environment" in the vSphere Client for your VM, then there is a command to query that environment from inside the VM. Google for "Query OVF environment", maybe combined with "VMware tools".
