Excerpt from the above link: 
remote_type (string) - The type of remote machine that will be used to build this VM rather than a local desktop product. The only value accepted for this currently is esx5. If this is not set, a desktop product will be used. By default, this is not set.

From the documentation here I see that the only remote_type supported as of now is "esx5"
Since we are using esx6.7 is it ok to set it to either "esx6" or "esx6.7" or "esx67" ? Will this break anything ?

It should still work, even though the value set is esx5. We have checks that should make it work for higher versions of esx.
