I have select NvME as controller ad attached a vdi but virtualbox does not recognize the vdi, is still a bug or actually not implemented?

VirtualBox is not required to "recognize" NVMe. It's a provided disk controller type, which you can use with guest OS's that recognize that controller type. You have not said what the guest OS is.

There is also the following warning from the user manual (if all else fails, RTFM!):
User Manual|Virtual storage|Controllers|NVMe wrote: Warning: Booting from drives attached using NVMe is only supported when EFI is used
as the BIOS lacks the appropriate driver.
