If you virtual machine is up and running and has a working internet connection then it has done its job and your virtual computer is up and running.

Issues with missing packages in the guest OS should be dealt with in the same way as if you had the same problem with the same OS installed on physical hardware - just because you are using VirtualBox doesn't make every problem a VirtualBox problem! :)

There will be plenty of instructions on the interwebs as to how to add the Chrome repository to a Linux distro so that you can use the package manager to get the dependencies automatically.
