That is correct. There is no 32-bit version of Server 2012.

You cannot install a 64-bit guest unless hardware virtualization is available and enabled.

Virtualbox is only showing 32 bit it is not showing a 64 bit so it will not let me install windows server 2012, I cannot get Virtualbox to recognize my 64 bit system

This maybe relevant, if your system is able to run 64-bit guests: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62339
