Run on your generated TOC simple GREP: find ^. change to /t$0
Set proper tab stops in TOC text style options, and you should be done.
Yes, after updating TOC that query should be run again. Additional operation is no good, luckily, grep query can be saved for future references.

I am sorry for not being able to acknowledge your help before now.
Thank you for weighing in. I have been able to get it to work per your instructions:
As an alternative to winterm excellent answer (as always), here's a trick that would prevent you to run again a GREP query after updating TOC:
Set your TOC paragraph style aligned to right. Add positive right indent and negative last line indent (i.e. 10mm and -10mm)
In the TOC options, instead of adding a tab between entry and numbering, add a hard return ^n
Then add a character style to numbers. Add a positive vertical shift to it to get the number aligned to entry (12 pt in my example, but you'll have to adjust that)
See example:
Hi, vinny
My approach is extremely traditional this time - we used to work this way yet in PageMaker times (except that grep thing, obviously). You won't believe, while posting this my thought was 'If there were vinny, he definitely show us some trick without adding to text any junk'. And you're here, magic. 
Vinny,
A 0pt-leading associated to a simple grep style could be … more interesting to manage inter-paras space!
