I don't know that anyone else makes this distinction, but to me
virtual memory is a technique an operating system can use to manage
user memory, while paging is a technique for coping with a shortfall
in physical memory. VM manages memory by using page faults to fill in
it's a distinction that certainly used to be made when teaching operating systems.
