Why? The very first thing to try is letting X detect hardware and
autoconfig. That means running it without any xorg.conf at all.
If that is not enough, entries for only the video driver or mouse are
all that is needed.
The VM only needs emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Other VirtualBox
stuff is for being a VirtualBox host and not needed in a guest.

So again, rename or delete any existing xorg.conf. Then run X. At
most, the two entries above being the entire contents of that file
should work.
