Vagrant creates a VirtualBox (default) VM, uses chef / puppet (preferably) to set the environment up then you link the host's rails directory to a suitable location on the VM.
So yes, the environment is a VM, you can use "vagrant ssh" to access that VM easily enough but for coding you use your usual code directory on the host with your usual editor.
