Called Verizon and they said no. Is that right? If I go and buy an unlocked phone (because they don't sell the phone I want), I won't be able to use it on their network?
No you will not. They do not allow non verizon IMEI's on their network.
If this is an unlocked GSM phone, then it will never work on CDMA network used by Verizon Wireless.

This is correct and is programmed into the SIM card.
