is virtualbox still so poor that you can't have simply all files
related to a VM inside a single directory and need to manage
virtual disks and iso-images that weird way as a few years ago?

the .vmx contains the complete configuration inclduing paths to iso-images
the .nvram are te bios-settings
the vmdk. are virtual disks
