You are right.  'top' man says VSIZE is the total memory.  It is
confusing, but it seems there is no relationship between VSIZE and
swapfile.  It seems there is no way to see how much vm is called for a
running app.  I am going to rest this case :-)

It is interesting to know why 'top' shows VSIZE, and what is determining
the size of VSIZE.  After all, VSIZE doesn't seems to be a real concern.

And Linux seems to do this area differently.  File cache seems to play
into vm much more than OSX does.
