Not clear what you mean.

The VPS line at Hetzner is based on KVM (just like at Vultr). NetBSD
runs on a KVM VPS. Hetzner (just like Vultr) provides a control panel
(including a console) for interacting with the VPS. One of the main
practical questions is whether you can upload an ISO yourself or whether
you need to request an ISO via a ticket.

One doesn't need to have "KVM access" (beyond the use of the control
panel) for any of this.

Again, one doesn't need to have "KVM access" for the VPSes.
