That's because ESXI is not passing VT-x to VirtualBox. You would have to ask the VMWare folks why not.
OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests
There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

If you have questions about VMWare configuration then you need to ask them on a VMWare forum.
