Can I run VirtualBox and an active VM on a server hosted on Google Compute Engine? If yes, what are the steps? Just install it and build the VM through VNC?
So far I have found similar solution for DigitalOcean where you simply install VirtualBox, xfce, VNC, etc. and it runs.

No, it is not possible to retrieve the instances that have been deleted once. If it has been stopped, it can be retrieved back by simply starting it again.
In the vSphere vCenter, select the virtual machine. Right-click the VM and select Migrate for Google Compute Engine Operations > Restart.
To stop a VM, use the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, or the Compute Engine API. In the Google Cloud console, go to the VM instances page. Select one or more VMs that you want to stop. Click Stop.
You might want to stop a VM for several reasons: You no longer need the VM but want the resources that are attached to the VM—such as its internal IPs, MAC address, and persistent disk. You don't need to preserve the guest OS memory, device state, or application state.

Yes, the same approach will work on a GCE VM.
You can also use Vagrant with the Google Compute Engine plugin to automate creation of virtual machines and GCE VMs.
