When you add [arch=amd64] the error message will not show.
The working configuration line is:
deb [arch=amd64] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic contrib
An update of the Linux distribution page would be helpful. Thx.

I have updated the wiki page with that suggestion under the section name "Debian-based Linux distributions"

Replying to Xyzzy:
This is not a bug, this is by design. VirtualBox removed support for anything 32-bit with 6.0.0 (and later). BTW, there's no way that this stopped working with 6.0.10, this has stopped working long time ago...
Ticket should be closed as [Invalid] or [WontFix].
