Why do we add i386 architecture to dpkg, for installing on a 64 bit OS? Is it because this is a i386 binary?
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

You don't need to add the architecture to install the Skype package itself, but you do need it to install all the dependencies.
Also note that you don't need GDebi - the Software Centre is perfectly capable of handling deb files.
