No. In VirtualBox, the vm uses the processor which is in the physical PC. It does not emulate a processor.
QEMU is a possibility. It is an emulator.

Possible yeah, but then you run into practicalities: a simulator is going to be tens of thousands of times slower than hardware. So for real work the answer is: no it is not possible to run ARM code on a Intel processor (or vice versa).
