Is this because the virtualbox-host-modules-arch package in the repo is actually version 5.2.2-10 ? And if so, how do I use that as the dependency?

Yes.

And if so, how do I use that as the dependency?

Tell pacman to refresh the local copy of repository information.

This could be done using pacman -Sy, but it's strongly recommended to perform a full system upgrade using pacman -Syu instead.
