When reinstalling your OS using Recovery HD, Apple will send you the correct installer for the OS which your hardware shipped with. It does this by looking at the type of Mac you have and the serial number. Once it has those, your Mac will have the correct installer pushed to it. Once your Mac has the installer fully downloaded, it will then reboot and install OS X. This behavior will also apply to reinstalling in a VM, but Apple will instead provide the generic OS X installer previously available in the Mac App Store instead of a hardware-specific OS X installer. You can use this behavior to capture the InstallESD disk image that Apple uses for the OS X installer.
