By default, the network connection in VirtualBox is set to NAT (Network Address Translation), that is every packet coming from the Guest machine is modified so that it seems as it has come from the Host machine. In this way it’s easy for the Guest machine to connect to all the rest of the network (the internet included) but nobody can start a connection with the Guest Machine since it’s hidden behind the Host one.

This blog post describes a technique to route incoming connections to VirtualBox guest instances in order to enable for example SSH and sshfs connections
