VoIP does not require a Call Manager. VoIP is just that, Voice over IP. It does not specify any call features and only extremely limited call handling. Use of a Call Manager implies IP Telephony, which is an alternative to PBX switches. IP Telephony includes complex call handling, call routing, and features like forwarding, transfering, on-hold, conferencing, etc.
VoIP (and any VoX) can be used as a point-to-point toll bypass solution, using traditional PBX switches to provide the call routing and other features. However, for any kind of certification, all you typically need to do is make a phone ring, which can be done without IP Telephony.
