I don't think that buzziness determines the dark-bright characteristics of tone. For example, John Mack and Eugene Izotov have characteristically dark tones without being buzzy at all-what many call a "round" sound.

And it is true, the Germans tended not to use much vibrato in the past. It's surprising to hear that they now characteristically have a tendency to use more vibrato than other schools of oboe playing!

Old-school American players were buzzier than Germans, who sounded almost "round", but they were definitely a lot less buzzy than the French school the American school descended from, and they had characteristically "focused" sounds.
