AFAIK Linux Rosetta does not work standalone but uses some channels to exchange x86 and arm binary code between Linux guest and macOS host. Actual translation happens in the macOS.

You'd think so, but no. With a patch to remove the runtime check, Rosetta works on Asahi Linux, with no macOS kernel present at all.
