I have some doubts:

Can i use IQ to detect lies (against IQ, Acting or Fast-Talk)? If so, what this means? I would like you explains IQ (for purposes of lie detection) exactly as you did with Empathy, Detect Lies and Body Language.
And what means "primarily from voice stress and word choice" in Detect Lies definition? Why primarily? It has more than voice stress and word choice? If yes, so what more beyond those parameters?

I don't think you can use IQ, but Detect Lies defaults to PER-6 so the average person has an effective Detect Lies skill of 4. if you have PER 20 that would be an actually useful 14.
