I think the penile inversion vaginoplasty description is a little incorrect; an animated diagram I saw had it literally pulled through the mons pubis into the peritoneum so the corpus cavernosa could be used for the vaginal walls. This causes it to self lubricate slightly, though not as much as the colon, I'd suppose (as the prostate is what supplies the majority of the penile lubricant).
It's not incorrect as such, it's just different places do different variations of the penile inversion. Using just the skin for the vaginal walls is p much the baseline "standard", then there are variations incorporating other tissues.
The surgeon i went to here in Germany used a variation on the penile inversion called the "combined method" where they use most of the tissue available around the corpus cavernosa and also line the vaginal walls with the excess urethral tissue, which provides natural lubrication.
