Liners can be used in plaster pools, and can be made to almost any
shape. However, the people I've known with vinyl liners in their
plaster pools were not terribly happy with the results. It appears that
the liner can be fairly easily torn, for instance by kids climbing on
the side of the pool (underwater). One family went so far as to warn
everyone using their pool not to touch the vinyl liner with their feet
... and the liner did not fit smoothly, which made the pool difficult to
clean.
