Recently had a house built...and the garage is insulated and drywalled, but not painted. I was told that if I did not put at least one coat of paint of the drywall, that eventually it would warp and sag. Is this true?

In the garage, yes. (umless you live in Arizona) Paint it. If it is in a dry room, you will not have to worry. It will just look ugly.

Primer-sealer is a must to apply (especially in an unstable and variable moisture environment like a garage) to help resist the moisture from affecting the integrity of the drywall, and letting the gypsum underneath the paper powder,disintegrate or break down.
Go ahead and do it. It looks better too!

it would be more afected by humidity if it is left bare, etc. gloss paint would be more resistant but shows more imperfectoins than a flat paint but then again it is a garage

Moisture can get to it quickly. Paint it.

No as long as it's screwed in or nailed properly with appropriate fasteners. and there is no heavy moisture.
