Yes. But since we’re in Linux land, you may be able to replay the journal and un-dirty your disk by mounting with the ntfs3 driver listed here docs.kernel.org/filesystems/ntfs3.html, or you could try using ‘ntfsfix -d [your device]’ from the ntfs-3g package to clear the journal and the dirty bit, although whatever the last operation was on the filesystem may be left in an incomplete state since the journal is not replayed.
I haven’t done it in a while, but with virtualbox I have used direct disk access by creating a special vmdk with vboxmanage to give a VM access to real partitions.
