I suspect that this is the root of the weird behaviour. One can think of various way of mapping key events from host to guest. The one extreme is to do the mapping based on physical keys. The other extreme is that given the "keysym" entered at the host, one looks up the same keysym in the guest layout, and then sends the guest the key press/release events to get that keysym with that layout. For example, VNC uses approach similar to the latter, and maybe VirtualBox does, too. For testing this hypothesis, you could switch the guest to a different layout, for example, de, which among others swaps y and z. You keep the host at US layout. If the guest still behaves as if it would use a US layout (and, in particular, you can enter y and z using their US positions), it is clear proof that VirtualBox uses some sort of "keysym" based mapping strategy.
