Yes.
Usually, when you install Virtualbox from the Debian Repo, Guest
Additions get installed and configured to run in each Guest you create.
You don't have to do anything.
I thought as much.
Here's a simple way to check if Guest Additions are installed and
working on a Guest. With the Guest running, move the mouse cursor
over the Guest Window. Is the cursor automatically captured without
clicking? When you move the cursor off the Guest Window and onto the
Host, is it automatically released? If both things happen, Additions
are running.
When I move the pointer on the host over a non-GUI VM window, the
pointer disappears but the window does not get the focus. When I move
the mouse back, the pointer reappears.
For Guest Additions to be installed from within a running Guest, if
they weren't installed initially, you must download the Guest Addition
ISO and "recognize" it with the Virtualbox's Virtual Media Manager.
VBox downloaded the ISO image. If I choose Devices -> Install Guest
Additions with a GUI client, the CD VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.18_78361 is
mounted and an icon appears on the desktop. Opening the CD in Pluma
(MATE file manager), I see files. Choosing "Open Autorun Prompt" and
"Run", I get an error dialog:
Error autorunning software
Cannot find the autorun program
But, the problem is already solved:
