Unless they had a second spacecraft nearby to take the photo, it would have to be. So it must be an illustrative graphic.

There are two components up there: the lander, and a small rover. Their announced plan was that after the rover leaves the lander, these two would take pictures of each other and send the pictures back. Note, I haven't seen any of the pictures we're talking about here, so I'm not commenting on what they are.
