Ok, got some info at http://docs.openstack.org/diablo/openstack-image-service/admin/content/configuring-the-swift-storage-backend.html . Looks like Glance supports multiple storage backends (Filesystem storage being the default) and it can be configured to use SWIFT. So then SWIFT is a complementary project for OpenStack and not really an absolute requirement!
