It all depends.
The guest OS (the "VM") is often bridged to the same network/subnet as
the host machine. If both are running Windows and it's a virus that
spreads itself to those on the same subnet, then it's quite possibly
everything can get hosed with one infected VM.
But normally, yes -- like you said, it's (in theory) two completely
separate environments and often "safe".
