Yes, there may be some digital effects, but the instrument and tuning have been around longer than the United States.
Would it have been possible to play the violin part of this song in the wild west or just back in the day?

The relatively slow tempo and narrow range… I’m not even sure if the tuning would really matter. I imagine a competent player of any era could play this on a single string.

Your question makes no sense.

The question sounds like someone who doesn't know that fiddling has been around for centuries.

Yeah, or that the Wild West WAS “back in the day.”

Not on an electric violin

Compared to classical and baroque violin pieces, this is pretty simple. Even compared to a lot of folk pieces the violin part of this song is not especially difficult to play.
