Absolutely. There are two easy methods to get installers into the guest OS.

1. A Virtualbox guest has a network preset to allow the internet into a guest. If you can access the internet you can download anything into the guest.

2. If you install Guest Additions in the guest, you can make a Guest Additions Shared Folder, then copy the installers and data into the guest from the host PC through the Guest Additions Shared Folder.
