The VMHTL::checkbox function just create a check box without strings.

If you want to add string behind it you have to do something like this.

<?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_IS_ACT') ?>

<?php echo  VmHTML::checkbox('is_act', $this->product->is_act); ?>

And then COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_IS_ACT should be added inside language file too.

for more clearness just check VM default product_edit_information.php page inside

administrator/components/com_virtuemart/views/product/tmpl/

Hope its helps..
