It's native as in it's native to postgresql.
However in Java/JDBC terms, it's a Type 4 driver. This means its written in
pure java and uses the databases own network protocol for communication - it
doesn't use a middle tier (like the openlink driver does).

Strictly speaking in JDBC terms the JDBC driver supplied with PostgreSQL
is
not native. A JDBC native driver would have been implemented using C/C++
native code. The portable all Java driver supplied with PostgreSQL is a
more robust and reliable solution than most drivers relying on native
code...
