So which is it

The text talks about a vibration sensor, but all the pictures reference vibration motors.

I didn't think phones had specific vibration sensors, but collected motion data from accelerometers (which would not have the sampling rate for audio).

It sounds more like they're using the motor as a sensor, via an ADC... that's clever on the scale of "interesting, but completely pointless"
