Couldn't resolve host 'mirrorlist.centos.org means that your VM is not resolving (DNS) that host. Try: ping mirrorlist.centos.org
It it works, then firewall could be the problem, but I doubt it. If it does not work, as I suspect, then either your VM host (Ubuntu) does not accept or forwards DNS requests from your VM guest (CentOS) or "DNS server" information DHCP provides to your guest is faulty.
So you either need to fix your Ubuntu's DNS server, Ubuntu firewall to allow port 53 from inside (CentOS VM), or just set static "Primary DNS server to something like 8.8.8.8 (Google OpenDNS).
