Well, I am not familiar with DoxBox-X source but... ...it is a originaly non-DOS project so it uses some high-level API. The HX-DOS version is based on the Win32 version so it internaly uses WinAPI.
I doubt that the HX-DOS fork differs much. So yes, it theoreticaly could call the BIOS/DPMI/whatever directly but I very doubt that it really does.
