How to convert raw to iso without copying to dom0?

The question was addressed exactly as OP asked.

Your case is different, since you are not trying to create an iso.

Let’s set an example:
If you have vbox.raw in /home/user on qube1
Create a standalone as normal, say stand1
Set the root size to 55G

cd /dev/qubes_dom0 and identify vm-stand1-root - ls -l will show the
actual device - let’s say it is /dev/dm-100

qvm-run -p qube1 'cat /home/user/vbox.raw' > /dev/dm-100

This will work fine if your VboxImage uses a single disk.
