No, the VMA is correct.  Please keep in mind that the PE/COFF file has a
leading 4K block, the file header.  The file header is loaded into the
address space together with all other sections.  ImageBase is the address
of the PE/COFF file header, NOT the address of the .text section.

Using the .text address is wrong.  The address where the image gets loaded to
is in the PE header header and the entry is called image_base.  It should
be available via bfd, shouldn't it?
If not, assuming you map the file into memory at address ADDR, then you can
use Windows definitions to access ImageBase (example for x86_64):

  IMAGE_DOS_HEADER *dos_hdr = (IMAGE_DOS_HEADER *) ADDR;
  IMAGE_NT_HEADERS64 *nt_hdr = (BYTE *) dos_hdr + dos-hdr->e_lfanew;
  ULONGLONG image_base = nt_hdr->OptionalHeader.ImageBase;

The orginal, pre-rebase image_base value is a 32 or 64 bit value in the newly
defined .debug_pe_defaddr section.

So the offset is just the difference between the above current image_base
from the file header and the value stored in the .debug_pe_defaddr


HTH,
