This site uses <iframe/> to view their reviews. Reviews are inserted and displayed through this platform .
However, even though it's an iframe, Google indexes .
How is this possible?

When "Google" (actually the "theft" indexer or crowler ) reads the page it also looks especially at some HTML elements that have some type of link, then following those links and indexing them, the same way. A single "path" is open.
Looking at the source of the page in question we can clearly see the reviews address in the src attribute of iframe:
<iframe scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"
src="https://www.storeya.com/widgets/couponpop?sid=011A3611"id="share-coupon_frame"></iframe>
As long as the iframe content appears to be on the home page, the Google Webmaster Help declares:
Google tries to associate framed content with the page containing the frames, but we do not guarantee that we will.
Translation (free):
Google attempts to associate content in frames with the page containing the frames, but we do not guarantee that.
Another possibility would be for the website to display different content for indexers. For example, if the user agent is GoogleBot , then the content is placed inline , without using frames.

Google indexes content through its links.
In other words, it does not matter if it is an iFrame, a normal page, service endpoint etc. If someone already indexed has a link to that address, Google will index it.
If it was not indexed before, it would be indexed simply because you have put a link in your question. By the time Google's spider went through this (as it did on your crosspost), your link would be indexed together.
