Not necessarily. A VM doesn't have a "real" DMA controller, and this exploit is specific to a family of real hardware CPUs.

Its not to say that its not impressive, but its fairly isolated to a specific family of processors from 2013.

Oh, right. I forgot that DMA controllers are virtualized on VMs.
