Is this the same vetiver that is grown for essential oils in perfumes/soaps? If so, it might be a lucrative cash crop as well as a soil/erosion control crop. Does anyone know?

I saw a World Bank publication which was strongly advocating a grass
called vetiver for soil erosion control. It supposedly propagates
through tills only, not seed and therefore will not spread so easily.
I'd like to know if there are bad aspects to vetiver use.
