If "untouched" is used to describe a woman, it would certainly mean that she is a virgin. However, you almost never see that phrase used. I can't remember hearing it in normal conversation.
Usually "untouched" is used to refer to some area or wilderness where humans haven't been. It is also used to mean not affected.
It is also used to describe evidence in a crime scene. "The gun was untouched since it was found by the police who were first called to the scene."

Hello Nika,
Only if you are talking about a girl, than it means so.
However the word 'untouched' could refer to different things in different contexts:
- Something that is untouched by something else is not affected by it.
- If something is untouched, it is not damaged in any way, although it has been in a situation where it could easily have been damaged.
- An untouched area or place is thought to be beautiful because it is still in its original state and has not been changed or damaged in any way like the so called virgin islands.
- If food or drink is untouched, none of it has been eaten or drunk.

I think that you have been influenced by Madonna's song "Like a Virgin' which uses these phrases.
