Being a whistle-shaker myself, I would like to say that technically, this produces tremolo rather than vibrato, but why be picky? Just play me a tune and see if it moves me!
Slainte,

is it ok to make vibrato with diaphram?

Hi, Skywatcher --
YES, use your diaphram to make a vibrato! That is how you do it on all woodwind instruments (flute, oboe, sax), except the clarinet (which isn't played traditionally with vibrato).
The tinwhistle takes so little air to blow that you don't need to pump that diaphram much, as you probably have already figured it out. It's very easy to nudge the sound into a vibrato, providing you have a decent instrument.
