My hang-up here is code states that circuits that may come in contact with moisture must be GFCI protected. Does this apply to 220 volt?

Technically, you'll have to have it inspected anyway... why not ask the code inspector?
Usually, you can get a hold of your local code enforcement and ask these types of questions, and they're more than happy to answer over the phone. Construction/updating codes will be different for people who don't live in your state/county/town.
Around here, we use the PA UCC, but some local towns have rejected it, and have their own construction/installation code that is above and beyond the Universal Construction Code.
