Whonix on Mac M1 (ARM) - User Support (still unsupported at time of writing)

I was able as you said to build the Whonix-LXQt-18.0.8.7.arm64.ova with a few errors but I could import it. However the ARM Virtualbox said it is a x64 Image and will not work. Are you sure your build is ARM? It looked like it ignored that build value.
