From what I know, sleep stops the ENTIRE thread, not just the loop its in. Unless you multi thread VB, the main thread that everything is running through (including DirectInput and others) will be frozen as well.
For a game in Visual Basic, the MS form controls are just fine. In fact, even many [C, C++, C#, ect.] applications use polling of window objects for input. Directinput is helpful if you are using DirectX to form your GUI and not windows commands.
