I was told by an avionics guy that if a plane has VOR's they must be

aircraft..."

I'm not debating the logic of having VOR's that are accurate, and I'm
getting mine adjusted - but it seems to me if my means of navigation is an
IFR certified GPS I do not have a legal responsibility to pass the VOR
check. Am I right?

You are also required to have available in the aircraft equipment necessary
for navigation along your route, in the event GPS goes out. That sounds like
VOR to me.
