Hi @Peter Thurwachter (MINDTREE LIMITED)
In my opinion, it is similar to "Licensing of Microsoft Desktop Application Software for use with Windows Server Remote Desktop Services", volume licensed versions of Office 2019 can be installed on Azure VM, such as Professional Plus and Standard. But Office Home & Business 2019 is one retail version.
In addition, since we do not have a testing environment with Azure VM, I also suggest you contact Microsoft Support directly to confirm this issue.
To install Office on Azure VM, you can install Microsoft Office using FSLogix application containers.
