Those 3 things are independent, i.e. there's no VNC in Cygwin (OK there
is, but you don't need it... and installing an X server just for that is
overkill), and there's no VNC in a Linux virtualbox unless it is running
the VNC server.

Of course its possible. You are just going at it the wrong way.

Irrelevant. You don't need any of those.
Just follow the VNC guide, its simple, you need a client (tigerVNC --
there's a version for Windows) and a server, then you need to know which
IP address and port to use, maybe open those ports on firewalls.
