Delphi picked up more people from VB and Powerbuilder than it did from TPW, I think. I got my professional start using Delphi, but never got the impression that many of my colleagues knew TPW well. Of the ones that didn't come from a database or 4GL background, most of us had used BCW for Windows coding and then switched back to Pascal when it became commercially viable to get a job in it. Borland Pascal didn't exactly have a ton of play in 1995. So it's true that they would've understood basic Petzold-style loops, but it would've been a bit surprising in Delphi. Later, most of the people I knew using Delphi didn't know bare Windows programming at all, since MFC had fully taken hold for people from that background. I was also under the impression that OWL was quite dominant, but I admit that I only passed through it briefly between Turbo Vision and VCL. Still, good point!
