I would recommend seeing a veterinarian if Rocco has vomited more than once. Hot Cheetos could certainly cause stomach upset but I would be concerned that part of the trash bag could be causing an obstruction if you are seeing pieces of the plastic as well. The vet might recommend an x-ray of Rocco's abdomen to rule out an obstruction and can also give medication to stop the vomiting.
