To run this VM on MacOS with M1 (ARM64) processor, you need to install QEMU and the related plugin

brew install qemu

vagrant plugin install vagrant-qemu

vagrant up --provider qemu

This doesn't look like the qemu provider:

config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
  vb.check_guest_additions = false
  vb.memory = 4096
  vb.cpus = 2
end

Shouldn't it be something like this?:

config.vm.provider "qemu" do |qe|
  qe.cpu = "cortex-a72"
  qe.smp = "cpus=2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1"
  qe.memory = "4G"
end

Did you get port forwarding to work? It currently will not work through the plugin.
