The original Rosetta software provided during the PowerPC to Intel x86 transition was an instruction and system call translation layer. I haven't used Rosetta 2 but it's probably similar.
As I understand 86Box is emulating specific chip implementations and all of the peripherals, cards and boards needed to run them, not just translating instructions. This makes the emulated machines appear to the guest OS as real hardware, I assume with all the flaws and quirks included.
