I don't think thats right. I think it just uses iLBC over it's own
proprietary Voip protocol.

How much bandwidth does Skype use while I'm in a call?
    Skype automatically selects the best codec depending on the connection
between yourself and the person you are calling. On average, Skype uses
between 3-16 kilobytes/sec depending on bandwidth available for other party,
network conditions in between, callers CPU performance, etc.
