I think that the B12 in most B12 supplements is made by microbial critters. You'll want to make sure your supplement says something like "suitable for vegetarians." I'm pretty sure that, in regard to B12, "suitable for vegetarians" also means suitable for vegans. But there are probably more knowledgeable people than I in this group--I don't normally come here and only stumbled upon this thread on the "latest" page.
