do all these phones automatically vignette their pictures?



Pretty much, unless you use digital zoom (cropping) to get in tighter. It's not so much "automatic vignetting" as it is the result of using a lens that just barely covers the sensor with its image circle -- to avoid vignetting, they'd need to use either a much smaller aperture (and run into diffraction problems) or a much larger and more complex lens that wouldn't fit the phone form factor very well.
