Correct.

If there is, I have not needed to use it.  I run a mix of 32bit x86 and
64bit amd64 VMs all the time.  A couple of them run 24x7.

No, that's definitely not needed for running 32bit x86 code in
VirtualBox.   You don't need to do anything special to install and run a
32bit x86 OS under 64bit amd64 VirtualBox.  It just works.
