@superp I am also having trouble with this setup, I got past the same error you had by setting :rvm_string in the :gem_package attribute to match :default_ruby like this:

:rvm => {
  :default_ruby => "ruby-2.1.1",
    :vagrant => {
      :system_chef_solo => "/opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/chef-solo"
    },
    :gem_package => {
      :rvm_string => "ruby-2.1.1"
    }
}

My nginx::passenger recipe found the right ruby then. But I'm still working on it, now I'm getting a timeout on the gem rake install:
