I see these modules:
vboxdrv, vboxguest, vboxnetadp, vboxnetflt, vboxpci, vboxsf, and vboxvideo
I know vboxdrv is required, obviously, but I'm having trouble finding documentation about the other modules.
vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp are obviously network related. Do I need both?
vboxvideo seems like it is needed for video acceleration, etc.
Other than that, that's pretty much all I know. Can anyone provide any more info? If so, lets see if we can update the Virtualbox Arch Wiki page with some nice descriptive details of each module.

vboxnetadp is required for NAT type of network which is the default.
vboxnetflt is required if you want to create a Bridged network on your guest OS
The above information is already in the wiki page you linked to.
Also you don't require all the modules. vboxguest obviously is only if you have ArchLinux as a guest OS. vboxsf, i believe is for shared folders between host and guest, but they are autoloaded (I believe). At least I don't load them explicitly for my usage and sharing folders works for me.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Thank you, very good to know.
SO by Bridged Networking, you are referring to the following I presume:
