It is false. True vibrato comes from proper breath control and she wiggles her jaw to quaver the notes by changing the opening through which breath is released (imagine a recorder, you blow it makes a noise, you close different holes and leaves others open and it creates a different pitch, now just press a hole rapidly and it's about as close as you can come to a blatant picture of it) creating a -somewhat- similar sound but it wouldn't fool anyone who's taken a vocal music class.
