I have never heard this term used before. Can you point me to the place where they mention it? That might help me figure it out.

I believe it is nothing more than a regular domain name that is not connected to the machine its on. In other words it is not the host domain. An example would be that you have a domain, test.com, you sign up for a shared account with Host company and they assign you to server6.host.com. Host.com would be the host account/domain, and you any everyone elses domain would be a virtual domain to that IP/ hosted domain.

I have a friend that refers to it that way.

Even though this user looks like a spammer I'll answer his question anyways since it is pertinent to running a free host.
A virtual domain is a domain name that is hosted on a shared ip. A virtual host is a hosting account that is on a shared ip. So basically all accounts on a shared (or free) hosting account are virtual hosts, and the domain names are added on the server as virtual domains.
For most hosts check your httpd.conf file, as this is where all virtual domain info is stored.
