Test Kitchen is a great way to test virtualbox instances, and here is an ansible provisioner: https://github.com/neillturner/kitchen-ansible That will both launch and provision the machine.
Or, configure ansible directly in Vagrant: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/guide_vagrant.html . In this case, you would still need to start and stop the vm, as you had written.
