What is the other party that you want to exchange (send and receive) these documents with?

Is it another modem?

I suppose you could just have the modems call each other, and use a serial data transfer protocol over the connection. I've never configured a GSM modem to answer the phone so I'm not sure if there are any special issues about being able to accept a data call on a GSM modem.

Alternatively, you'd have to use a client/server type of system. You use the GSM modem to connect to a service provider, get a TCP/IP connection, and transfer the file to an intermediary server over TCP/IP. Maybe you also send an SMS to the other party to let it know that the file has been uploaded. The other party makes the same type of connection to retrieve the file from the intermediary server.

If you have two modems, get one to wait for a RING message and issue ATA to answer the phone when the other calls. Then just use zmodem or kermit to initiate the transfer.

You probably could use Visual Basic. But why not just use a scripted terminal emulator to do the hard work?
