While i don't think oda made it perfectly clear, i think there is enough to say they do all use haki, simply on the basis that it seems odd that ALL VAs use it and yet the admirals can not.
Recall when Whitebeard attacked the platform with his quake powers; the admirals blocked the attack and were seen just standing there with arms out stretched and the hands out. How did they block the attack? no real sign of their devil fruit being used... i believe the answer would be that they used their combined Haki to block the attack
Also recall when Vista cut into Akainu's neck... Akainu commenting that he was using Haki and yet the attack was not enough to negate his devil fruit to the point that it would do real damage. So why didn't vista's Haki work to allow him a solid hit? frankly i've been going with the theory that a logia user can counter haki with haki in order to help make sure his powers keep working as they are supposed to atleast to a limited extent.
