Not necessarily. In my deployment, users from host system are not administrators - they are ordinary non-privileged users. For example, they cannot install and run a server software (ex. dhcpd). But, in the guest os they will be root. Hence, they can install everything. They can do whatever they want (ex. generate malicious traffic, install and run server like dns, dhcpd, ... among others).
