Yes, as soon as you use the same phone number as a account with a VAC ban you will recieve one aswell.

WRONG.


How do VAC bans relate to phone numbers?
VAC bans are applied to all accounts sharing a phone number at the time of the infraction. For this (and many other) reasons we do not recommend sharing your phone number or using another user's phone number on your Steam account.

There are no restrictions placed on phone numbers that were on an account when the account was VAC banned; phone numbers can immediately be used on new accounts.

VAC bans ONLY transfer AT THE TIME of the infraction, not after.

You are NOT immune if you do the following:
1. Add phone number
2. cheat
3. Remove phone number

At the time of infraction (not the time the ban is issued) is the keyword here.

VAC bans are not contagious. Adding a number AFTER a cheat has been detected or a ban issued on an account using the same number will not issue the same ban on the account that number is added to.

These cases do NOT cause VAC bans:
Case 1:
Account 1 has used cheats and Phone Number 123
Account 1 gets VAC banned

Account 2 never used a cheat
Account 2 adds Phone Number 123 AFTER Account 1 got VAC banned

Account 1 stays VAC banned
Account 2 stays clean

Case 2:
Account 1 has used cheats and Phone Number 123
Account 1 is flagged, VAC ban pending

Account 2 never used a cheat
Account 2 adds Phone Number 123 WHILE Account 1 is about to be VAC banned

Account 1 gets VAC banned
Account 2 stays clean.
