I would say that there are an infinite number of planes that can pass through a pair of skew lines. In order to find the equation of a plane, all you need is three points. take two points off of one line and one point off of the other line and you should be able to derive the equation of a plane. Since the number of points on a line is infinite, an infinite number of planes can be derived.

Is it true that only one plane can pass through one and a point that is not on the line?
If you mean "only one plane can pass through another plane and through a point that is not on the line formed by the intersection of the two planes," the answer is "no." If you rotate the plane about the point, it will still intersect the line unless it is parallel to the line. By rotating the plane, you have created other planes that pass through the unmoved plane and through the point that is not on the line formed by the intersection of the two planes.
How many planes in a cube pass through three or more vertexes?
There are 56 such planes.
How many planes can pass through two points?
Nonee !
How many planes can pass through two given points?
There are an infinite number of planes that pass through a pair of points. Select any plane that passes through both the points and then rotate it along the line joining the two points.
How many lines pass through 2 distinct point in a plane?
one
