Once MoL launches MacOS inside the compatibility box, it's running the
native System (i.e. the MacOS kernel) code. Since MacOS obviously has no
problem reading HFS+ :-) it handles it just fine.
When I was running Linux on my beige G3 a couple of years back, starting
MoL when needed, I *think* the boot partition needed to be plain HFS but
other volumes could be HFS+ and MoL could write to them without heartburn.

Even two years ago, I think you could safely *read* an HFS+ volume
although
writing was dicey (usually Disk First Aid would clean it up) and you could
safely read & write to plain HFS volumes. I would guess that current Linux
drivers do OK writing to HFS+ volumes, but I don't know for sure.
