Wrong. If you want to install it then set firmware to UEFI, attach ISO
and boot. "Direct kernel boot" option is only if you do not have
firmware which handle booting.

Add Video (virtio), Spice screen, keyboard and tablet (virtio or USB
ones). Then start VM.
UEFI will start, initialize graphics, show Tianocore logo and load grub
from install media. Then Debian starts and should load 'virtio_gpu'
module to initialize graphics and start d-i on graphical console.
If it does not then d-i needs work. Serial console installation is
something to be ashamed of (or 'expert' level option).
Fedora, CentOS, RHEL are at this level for a while. Debian should be
too. For me lack of graphical installer on arm64 should be RC bug.
