Probably - but not simple as the elements are formed elsewhere and looped thru

basically you want to insert text fields with the names as below and hide the selects

shipto_virtuemart_state_id
billto_virtuemart_state_id

have u tried replacing the virtuemart_state_id shopper field with a text field though? might break everything

if it saves correctly to the address fields in the Table then would assume all OK - it is just data - whether a select or text is just a means of entering it
