No Running Android apps and games in separate native macOS windows on Apple silicon requires building or embedding an Android runtime and input/graphics translation layer, which is deep systems work.
What it would actually take: A real version would need an Android runtime (AOSP-based or a custom emulator core) running on Apple's Hypervisor.framework, with graphics translated to Metal and input mapped to macOS events. Building this takes low-level virtualization, graphics, and Android framework expertise, plus compatibility work across thousands of apps.
