It appears VT-x are not ordinary instructions, but hypervisor instructions, and Android Emulation requires them. Rosetta does not currently support them.

Because of the way they built this (as an emulation itself), google may have to make some Apple-Silicon specific changes to get this to work.

What Can't Be Translated?

Rosetta can translate most Intel-based apps, including apps that contain just-in-time (JIT) compilers. However, Rosetta doesn’t translate the following executables:

Kernel extensions
Virtual Machine apps that virtualize x86_64 computer platforms
