Things like creating and managing networks, virtual hard disks, port forwards, etc, are all handed automatically by Vagrant through the configuration language it provides. It's also a higher level abstraction on top of a given hypervisor, as well as guest specific operations. With just a VM, you'd have to manually interface with each hypervisors tools (which are all completely different, and behave different too), as well as figure out each operation systems way of managing things like networks or shared folders.
