Does a hugepage in virtual machine require the corresponding underlying machine page to be a huge page?

Question

If a virtual machine is using huge TLB pages, (for example ubuntu runs in qemu + kvm on a intel processor platform), is the machine page also a huge page? Modern processors use extended page table(EPT) to accelerate paging.

If it's not required, is it determined by the virtual machine monitor(e.g. qemu)? Or by the KVM?

Thanks!
