Essentially yes, but some extra steps are needed to ensure one actually
starts from that virtual DVD:

1. In "Boot Options", ensure the DVD is listed first (or select
"Enable boot menu" and then you can pick the boot device when
starting the VM).

2. To tell live-boot to use the SquashFS from the DVD, add this boot
option:

     live-media=/dev/sr0


This works for a "SCSI CDROM" device. If the virtual DVD reader is
plugged into the SATA bus instead, the /dev/sr0 path might need to
be adjusted.

And then yes, I use Tails Installer to clone the running system and
upgrade the Tails system that's on the virtual USB drive.

Cheers,
