Is there an Ubuntu ISO used for virtual machines imaged in vmware or is there one ISO for both physical and virtual?

It's the same ISO.

One of the purposes of a virtual machine is that an OS behaves the same as it does as on a physical machine. (But maybe that's an oversimplification.) Anyway, the booting and installation process is the same on a virtual machine as on a physical.

But, the virtualized OS may require some addons to run better in a VM. For example, the VirtualBox Guest Additions for Ubuntu make it resize Ubuntu's display to fit the size of the VirtualBox window.
