Yes, 14 karat gold vermeil is real gold, but it is a type of gold plating rather than solid gold. Vermeil is created by coating a base of sterling silver with a layer of gold that is at least 10 karats, with 14 karat being a common option. The gold layer in vermeil is thicker than standard gold plating, making it more durable and valuable.
