Yes, you need guest_name.xml, and guest_name.vdi, where guest_name is the name of the virtual machine. In order to register the machine, you need to have all media detached from the ide/sata/fdd controllers, else virtualbox will fail to register the machine in my experience. Also, previous posts to this list seem to indicate that you can't take an xml file from one host platform, and register it on another (I.E. you won't be able to take the xml file created in windows, and register it on a linux host). So, given all that, your best bet is probably to create a new vm with the same config as the original, and just attach your old vdi file to the new vm. If you do want to try registering the original xml file, you need to create a folder vm_name in your machines folder, and put the xml file in that folder. Once you've done that, you can do VBoxManage registervm machines\vm_name\vm_name.xml On windows, the machines folder is in documents and settings\user\.virtualbox. HTH.
