It's not made-up. Go to the Twilight Lexicon and read Meyer's interviews yourself.

Q: How were Jane and Alec special in their human lives to warrant such superbly powerful vampire talents?

A: So Alec and Jane are really for all intents and purposes in the Twilight universe would be considered witches when they were human. If you made Jane angry with you, even as a small child, bad things happened. Aro was aware of the twins and he was very interested in acquiring them. So imagine his disapproval when their village burned them at the stake. He interrupted that and village was no more and being burned at the stake part sort focused all their talents. Alec became all about no pain, that’s where he was focusing. Whereas Jane wanted to inflict that pain on others. So that’s really how their talents developed. But they were talented before, when they were human.
