Vlad goes on to say that he thought she was Dragon, and Morrolan shrugs or some such (sorry, AFB). I think from this and the fact that Vlad doesn't mention Loraan not looking like himself when they first met, we can deduce that vampires generally keep their old bodies. I'm generalizing from a sample of one and a half, though...
