Yes you can choose where the guest disk image goes. The image file gets saved as .vdi or something. The good thing about it is that once you have worked on that guest OS for sometime, you can copy the corresponding .vdi file and use it on another computer running virtualbox to continue your work. So theoretically it should be possible to have the image even on a pen drive. I haven't tried any of this though, so don't take just my word for it.
