The Arch wiki states the following:

"You can also install the qt5-x11extras optional dependency in order to use the graphical interface which is based on Qt. This is not required if you intend to use VirtualBox in command-line only."

However, the qt5 dependencies are not optional in the current package. For my use case, VirtualBox is used with vagrant on a headless server, so optional qt5 dependencies would be nice as the GUI will never be used. But maybe something has changed and it's not possible to have them as optional. Either way, it would be nice if the info on Arch wiki and the package lined up :)
This task depends upon
