Now, Virgin Mobile in Europe is GSM. If it's an unlocked Euro Virgin phone, it could work....in theory.
Verizon and several regional carriers are also CDMA. And the switchback is only sold in CDMA form. Although you are right; a phone from Virgin Mobile in EUROPE would work if unlocked, but in this case, a CDMA only phone on a GSM network is a no-no.
