I generated access token via Postman with below parameters:

POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenantID>/oauth2/v2.0/token

client_id: appID
grant_type: client_credentials
client_secret: secret
scope: https://management.azure.com/.default

Response:

Using above token, I too got same response like 202 Accepted while running the same query as you like below:

POST https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{vmName}/assessPatches?api-version=2022-08-01

Response:

Currently, there is no such REST API query that can fetch you all virtual machine's compliance status. To confirm that, you can check this. Alternatively, you can make use of Kusto query.

I have below information on virtual machine's compliance status in my automation account:

To get this information from Kusto query, you need to follow below steps:

Go to Azure Portal -> Automation Accounts -> Select account -> Logs -> Azure Update Management -> Computers list -> Run

When I ran the query with scope as subscription, I got the results successfully like below:
