You install ARM linux on VM, you copy some binaries into that ARM linux which magically allow you to run x86 binaries inside that ARM linux. Those binaries will be translated using rosetta algorithms to arm machine code and run inside that ARM linux.

Fast emulating x86 VM probably is too hard for Rosetta so they decided not to even bother with it. I agree that it would make things much easier if one could just run x86 Linux with proper speed.
