^I skimmed through that article and found another similar source that elaborate further on it. http://faroutliers.blogspot.my/2007/11/ogasawara-mixed-language-english-in.html After reading up a little, I'm kinda certain that it should be Ogasawara Mixed Language (OML), which is a mixed of Japanese and Bonin English in Japanese grammar instead of Bonin English, which is normal English with heavy Japanese influence in pronunciation (think of it as an accent).

Engrish is often refers to "broken English" with mixed of words in English grammar, such as in Singapore and Malaysia where they add their native words into the English structure rather than the other way around, the latter of which is what's happening in Iowa's speech.

Of course, that doesn't mean it Iowa must be using OML rather than any other probable language that's a mixed of Japanese and English in Japanese grammar, but it's definitely not Bonin English since that's a different thing entirely.

I don't get it, anyone that have seen enough anime should know that Iowa's phrase is not "broken" per se, she's just substituting Japanese nouns with English (rather than the usual Katakana) with the rare exception of lines like Secretary 3 that's in full English (a grammartically correct one at that).

So while one can remark on the poor pronunciation, one shouldn't say that the Japanese has terrible English or the English here is broken because the devs aren't even trying to Engrish this up to begin with.
