Does a ticket from Buxton to Swinton (MCR) via Manchester include Metrolink transfer?

I have a ticket from Buxton to Swinton for this morning. The first train comes into Manchester Piccadilly, the second leaves from Victoria. There's no train MAN to MCV in the time I need so I plan to hop on the free bus to Victoria. For a journey like this I usually buy 2 separate tickets via MCZ which includes a Zone 1 tram. I just want an easy transfer and to avoid the rain. Am I in luck?
