Given that the express goal of wxWidgets is to use native widgets 
wherever possible (a goal which results in some cross-platform 
inconsistencies, but is largely responsible for its "better" (i.e. 
native) look and usually-better speed), I'd think it very likely that it 
does use the GTK treeview.
