When you play the flute does the air blowing across the mouthpiece vibrate to make a sound?

Although, you do blow across the mouthpiece to make a sound on the Flute the air either travels across and escapes or travels through the instrument. The air stream does not split as might be expected. The air stream vibrates the lip plate and head tube. The rest of the flute acts as a resonator creating waves of a certain lenghth (and therefore a certain pitch) depending on with keys, if any, are depressed.
I added a related link in case you need more info.
Edit: The air spins around the tube after hitting the back wall. The number of keys you press down determines how far that air has to travel down the tube of the flute. It requires more air than most instruments because half of the air doesn't go into the flute.
