Not to my knowledge, no. Only the native VIT can be staked on the platform, there is no way to get ERC-20 VIT there yet. It was done once-off for ICO participants and then not again. But that should change any day now. You can also earn native VIT just by using the platform, same as with STEEM.
You need them in the same way that you need staked STEEM to earn STEEM. Unlike STEEM who start you with a small base amount, VIT run a faucet which trickles roughly 2 VIT/day into your wallet. It's not much, but it's a start and it grows fast. If you have something to upload you could also gain VIT rapidly. Unfortunately I have been unable to find suitable videos to upload, everything is copyrighted or the licenses are owned by someone else.

So when you say youve made ROI from curating, anyone can do this as long as they have VIT tokens or do you not even need the tokens?
