Yes, JIT is used for both, but we don't call JITing of Java/.Net bytecode "emulation" because there is no hardware that natively runs bytecode that we are emulating. Unlike x86_64 asm, bytecode is designed to be JITed. But yes, JITing is the defacto strategy for efficiently emulating one piece of hardware on another.
