Well, I've actually figured my way around this issue. I guess the pip install never placed the files in a correct module directory for PowerShell. I created a WindowsPowerShell\Modules folder in my documents folder, which did not exist but was listed in my PowerShell modules path. I then took the VirtualEnvWrapper directory from the virtualenvwrapper-powershell bitbucket and copied it into the Modules folder I just created.

Then I had to use Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted instead of Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned as shown in the guide, but I was then able to do the import-module and use everything needed. I'm not sure why I had to all of this manually instead of pip having done it, but I just hope this can somehow help someone else.
