Oh, I'll argue all right.
Yes, Cedric was killed with Voldy's wand.
However there seem to be two wands.
There's the one that kills Cedric and which Voldy finds in his robe pocket
after resurrection.
Then there's the wand that Peter uses to produce ropes to tie up Harry.
They must be different otherwise the PI replay would show ropes - it doesn't.

According to the text Voldy!Baby was big enough to need both hands for
it to be manipulated correctly, not something small enough to carry in one
arm while accurately aiming a wand with the other.

The question asked of JKR was actually two questions:
1. Was it Voldys wand?
2. Was Peter using it?

Which one was she answering 'yes' to? Or was it both?
She's cocked up over wands in  that graveyard before.
I'll wait for textual confirmation, if you don't mind.
