Thanks for the reply, Kai. I did notice those variables, however they just list 'NA' for a simple desktop I have here. Anyway, thanks to your tip I had a quick browse through the facts source code, and if the machine was any type of guest, it seems it would definitely get picked up. So I think it's fairly safe to say that 'NA' can be presumed to be a bare metal machine which solves my problem as far as I am concerned!
