For geiser's functionality to be active, the module's has to be loaded in
the running guile session.  Opening the file or switching to the module
without evaluation won't make available any of its definitions to the
running process.  Have you tried compiling/loading the module? A quick
way of accomplishing that is with C-c C-k when you're in vm.scm.
