Short answer: yes

Medium answer:

You have a couple of choices:

1) Using the custom property editor, you can export your list of servers to an excel file, add the descriptions (merge them with the file from vcenter, and re-import that spreadsheet back to SolarWinds and the descriptions will update

2) you could also use the same general process to create a query and directly update the description field in the nodes table.

In theory this could also be scripted and automated using the Orion SDK. Pulling this information via the VMware API and populating custom properties in Orion via the Orion SDK would be the most elegant approach, but certainly not the simplest method suggested.
