When it is running in so-called raw mode, as opposed to when it is using hardware virtualisation, VirtualBox executes guest user mode natively and kernel mode semi-natively (that is, it makes use of a few tricks to do so). See http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_architecture if you are interested in the details.
