As far as I can see, everything is accessible with VO. The controls that just say "button" or "checkbox" usually have pretty descriptive help tags, so I doubt that'll be a problem. However, I should give you a bit of a heads up. Sometimes, when viewing a contact's chat history, if you click the links that allow you to view messages older than a particular time, you'll end up with what VoiceOver considers to be an empty html content area. Whether this is because Skype takes a while to retrieve history from its servers, or because VoiceOver sometimes has a mind of its own, I'm not sure. What I normally do when this happens is press VO-A when my VO cursor is on the html content. This usually interacts automatically and starts reading whatever has come up. From there, I can just press Control to stop the reading and look for what I want. It'll be interesting to know if anyone else has had to do this.
