"Requires the PyJSVM v0.8 or better to function, download it now!"

WTF is that? The whole point is that you'd target the bytecode standard. This would be just like targeting javascript today, but it wouldn't require hacks to deal with the broken aspects of javascript and maybe tools like cliend-side debugging would be useful.

It doesn't have anything to do with individual VMs per language.

Yes, you're right. Sorry, I was mistaken, confusing how Dart has its own VM, and how the browser has to have explicit support for said VM. (And yes, I know Dart can also compile to JS, that's not my point).
