I think that's very unlikely. The dish and box are subsidised under all Sky's installation packages and the condition of you getting that subsidy is that you keep it connected to an active phone line for 12 months.
I think it's more likely that she may have told you you don't need to change to a BT line - the digibox will work fine with a Virgin cable phone - but it *will* need a landline to connect to and if she really did tell you that it doesn't, she's tried to sell you a lie.
One way or another you need to make sure you factor in all the costs you will incur by switching to Sky before you know if it's a better deal, and phone line rental is part of that.
