Is this the same as a cursive font?

It looks like cursive but it is not a font file. It is a set of script-style Unicode characters, which is why you can paste it anywhere without downloading anything. The upside is portability; the trade-off is that a few apps may not render every script letter.

Why do some cursive letters look different?

The script style maps each letter to its closest script glyph, and a handful of letters have a more decorative shape than others. The result still reads as joined-up handwriting, even if individual letters vary a little in flourish.

Are these real fonts, and will they work everywhere?

They are not font files. Each style is made of real Unicode characters that look like a styled font, which is why you can copy them and paste them straight into a bio, post or message without installing anything. Because they are normal characters, they show up in most apps and on most devices. A few places that strip formatting, and some older phones, may show plain boxes for the rarer styles, so it is worth pasting a sample where you plan to use it.
