No. The Guest Addition is still necessary.

You will find it quickly that without it, you can't use the middle mouse button 
to scroll and can't select item from a list of a GUI application, e.g: the 
Display program when you choose resolutions, without holding the left mouse 
button. If you ever release the mouse button, the list will collapse 
immediately without allow you to select the item you want.

This and many minor annoyances.

BTW, you have to install the Guest Addition via VirtualBox's insert guest 
addition CD image. The package virtualbox-additions seemed to be the Guest 
Addition ISO, thing to be inserted into a VirtualBox VM, not the Guest Addition 
itself.
