Not quite correct.

It uses native widgets to implement any widget derived from the
platform/Widget.h class.
These are found in platform/port dirs.

Scrolling, Scrollbars, menus are native. Drawing of buttons checkboxes
and most form controls is also linked into the native platform in vi a
platform specific RenderTheme.

This RenderTheme generally uses the platforms theming mechanism. So
these could be considered a hybrid.
