Is this how Steve Vai did the talking guitar on Yankee Rose?
Nah that's just him being amazing. Peter Frampton has solid talk box examples
Around 2:30
A marginally more modern example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQDbr_3di7s
Can't think of any from the 21st century though
Tool's Jambi from 2006 has one in it:

Slash uses one on the first Slash's Snakepit album. I think on the track Lower.
Doesn't a vocoder do something similar?
They can have similar results, but the approach is different. A vocoder takes two inputs (ie. guitar and microphone) and harmonizes them, outputting a mixed electrical signal after combining. A talk box plays a single input audio (guitar) through a speaker and the sound travels up a tube to the performer's mouth, which the performer uses to shape the sound. The audio is then captured by a microphone.
