Was the name Jehovah actually an invented word because the Hebrew name of God is YHVH and the vowels were added because there was no known way to pronounce YHVH since Hebrew lacks vowels?

That is basically correct, but over-simplified. Hebrew, including the printed Bible, has vowels; but the handwritten parchment scrolls do not. The vowels of that particular word are no longer known; and E A and O (Hebrew vowels) were inserted by Jewish tradition in order to remind the reader to pronounce the word as if it were written "Adonai," since we never attempt to pronounce God's actual name. Early Christian monks learning Hebrew didn't understand this custom.
