Can Schema.org VideoObject tags be applied to iframes?

Can VideoObject tags (Schema.org) be applied to iframes? Their own example and this one on googlewebmastercentral mentions nothing on videos embedded with iframes.

Should it be added to the iframe itself with meta inside the iframe, or a wrapping div?

<iframe itemprop="video" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/VideoObject" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/CLIP_ID" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0">
    <meta itemprop="duration" content="T1M33S" />
</iframe>

Yes, the VideoObject tags can be applied to an video embed using an iframe. But if it really helps, given the following post, is the question, check out this post: http://www.reelseo.com/embedded-youtube-indexed-google/.

Also, to give an answer to your (and my) question I used the following Google keywords: https://www.google.com/#q=schema.org+videoobject+iframe.
