That’s not totally true. Usually a lie by omission is implying something, and that something isn’t true. It is deliberately instilling a sense of false knowledge. You didn’t specifically say it, but you still conveyed it. It’s still a lie.
Saying something sarcastic is not the same as saying it non-sarcastically, for example. What is conveyed is what’s important, not what is said.

A deception is a lie though, they’re synonyms.

It is deception, it is not a lie. Not all deception is lying.
I like this, it helps a lot
All lies are deceptions, but not all deceptions are lies
My silence was not a lie; you guessed about reality, and I just didn’t correct you
