I was told that a salt water system for an inground vinyl liner pool would damage the pool and the plumbing. Is this true?

The liner and plumbing in most cases is all plastic or PVC so "salt water" poses no risk. In some cases things like heat exchangers in your pool heater can be effected but if the salt system is installed, operated and maintained properly there is little risk. The items that usually have problems, metals like that heat exchanger and a ladder, can usually be upgraded to a type that is resistant to the electrolysis introduced by a slat water chlorine generator. In the case of a ladder it's even easy to swap out for a plastic one!
