Do I need VS to create a game?

[lynconsix]

My question was this, is it possible to create a game using only premake, without having to install VS?

Yes, you can make a game without installing VS. Not sure what you plan on using instead, but I'm sure if you know the tools well enough you'll be fine. You may need to use one of the community modules for Premake, or write your own, to support this alternative setup though.
