Font encoding normally has nothing to do with the style (italic, bold
or whatever). A more precise statement is that in the default san
serif family (cmss) in default encoding (OT1) the CM font set is used,
and CM has no bold slanted font, but switching to T1 (and leaving
other defaults) a different font set (namely the EC fonts) is used,
which does contain such a font.

If one switches to an entirely different font set, one might get such
a font even in OT1 encoding and might not get such a font even in T1
encoding. Not that I know of any such cases off the top of my head.
