In the VB window where your guest is running, click on Devices -> USB -> Prolific Technology Inc (or whatever) USB device you want to share to your guest. Once you do that, Ubuntu will "see" the USB connection and automatically create the necessary /dev/ttyUSB0 device.
Then you can use any of the normal tools to open up /dev/ttyUSB0. Screen, minicom, gtkterm, etc. The scenario you are describing is exactly how I do it as well, so I know it can be done.
