As a general rule that's true, but the proof of the pudding an' all that......
If new pads are needed anyway, why not see how they work with the old discs before shelling out £400 on an assumption.
You'd know pretty soon if the brakes were useless or not and could then promptly change the discs before the pads had bedded in to the old ones.

I would imagine that skimming a floating, two-part disc is too complicated to be economical.
