I keep reading about having to have factory matched V belts, is this true for all models?

No, it is complete bunkum. The tolerance on V belts is such that it doesn't make any difference. Just change the alternator belts in pairs from the same manufacturer and that will be fine. I always get the cheapest ones, and never have any issues.
