That's not true (at least, not in X11R2).  Look in scrollbar.c.
There's a line:

   scrollWidget = XtCreateWidget("scrollbar", scrollbarWidgetClass, ...);

scrollbarWidgetClass is defined by the X Toolkit Widgets 
(see <X11/Scroll.h>).  On other words, xterm is using the
Xaw scrollbar widget.  I think.  I can't see any code that
indicates otherwise, anyway.
