They detect sound partly through their jaws, yes, for the points.
Not actually ears as such, there's no external pinna, no ear 'hole' or timpanum, but as you say the lower jaw picks up vibrations through the ground.
The snake has two lower jaw bones, unlike a human's one and this allows a snake to hear in stereo. the vibrations are passed to the inner ear or cochlea and signals sent to the brain in a similar way. A snake can hear better with it's head on, or even in the ground.
