not really, it was demonstrated on a Motorola Atrix that had virtualisation built in and a webtop operating system running in the VM which was swapped out for Ubuntu.

Not quite. There's no VM involved in Ubuntu for Android (or for that matter Ubuntu for Phones). The handset (not just the Motorola Atrix, the Galaxy Nexus was also demonstrated) boots into Android as normal. If you plug a dock in then it starts Ubuntu in a chroot, not a VM. There was also an awful lot of integration work done to connect the Ubuntu desktop and Android underneath. So for example you can sync contacts between Android Contacts app and your desktop mail client (like Thunderbird).
