No, android x86 is stand alone. Actually I believe android based on linux.

You can run it in a virtual machine, but VMs are really slow. Or you can create a dual boot (see android-x86.org for details). The best option is create a installation pen drive with Lili USB creator and make a Ext3 partition exclusive for android x86 (NTFS & FAT32 are limited to 2GB). But if you just want to test you don't need to install, there is a option to load without installation.
