No, VirtualBox is not based on Xen and works completely different. While
VirtualBox is a type 2 hypervisor, Xen is a type 1 hypervisor.
Besides performing virtualization, they have not really anything to do
with each other.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor#Classification for more
information about the types.
