I'm not sure what's going on,either.  VirtualBox users on Windows have
been plagued by DNS problems immediately after centos/7 boots (disabling
the NAT DNS resolver is an attempt to work around that).  I tried to
simulate that by disabling the host networking immediately after running
"vagrant up", and that produces the same error message you got.

I don't have access to Windows, so I ran your example on a Mac with
VirtualBox 5.2.6, vagrant-vbguest 0.15.1 and centos/7 1801.02.  It
installed the guest additions and mounted the shared folder via vboxsf.
The DNS resolver problems were always restricted to VirtualBox on
Windows - it works on Mac and Linux, as do all other hypervisors.  I'm
afraid I can't help you; perhaps you can try to use our Hyper-V images
(Hyper-V is included for free in Windows Professional and higher) or
VMware, if that's an option.

Please note that the guest additions aren't really needed.  Networking
works just fine without them, and you can use Samba or vagrant-sshfs for
sharing files:
