VirtualBox support for ARM64 is very limited. See: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=107344

So far away it's not even claimed. VirtualBox is an x86 hypervisor (or emulator on M1). Not an ARM hypervisor. All the devs have said on the latter is "one day, maybe". I imagine there'd have to be a market for it first, and a standard platform to simulate that isn't Apple MacOS (since Apple licensing will remove that market).
