Does any traffic on the Host go through the Guest's Full Tunnel VPN ?

I want to ensure that all traffic on the Host does not go through the VPN running on the Guest. 

I have a Windows 10 host running VMware® Workstation 15 Pro. In Workstation, I have a Ubuntu guest with a VPN client connected to a full tunnel VPN. I would assume all the traffic on the Guest would go through the VPN and the Host's traffic would not go through the VPN. This is what I want, but I want to confirm this is indeed the case. I am using a NAT network adapter. 

Does any traffic on the Host go through the Guest's Full Tunnel VPN ?

No data of the host can go through the tunnel in the way you described your VPN connection.
