Yes, you can model this using the AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow object with the Condenser Type input field set to WaterCooled. You would then need to create a PlantLoop object for the water loop that will use the rejected heat from the refrigerant loop for heating demand and / or DHW demand.
It doesn't seem that there is a "plate heat exchanger" option, but you could represent that relationship using the various performance curve input fields.
Someone asked a question related to performance curves for water-cooled VRF systems, which you may want to check for reference.
