Such people do exist—gorgeous, charismatic, beloved, and smooth-talking—but they're relatively rare. This
is a cinematic trope, but it's not a completely implausible one. The line between realistic and cinematic is very fuzzy in this case.
How To Be a GURPS GM isn't telling you where that line is, just that it exists, somewhere.

If I do so, should I apply +16/12 bonus to reaction rolls, or what?

I'd stick with the rules until I've rolled a few reactions. Remember to apply all the given penalties: if characters try to take advantage of all those bonuses to ask for outrageous things, they'll get hefty penalties. They may also gain a negative Reputation (Takes unfair advantage of how much people like them) which will impact rolls, if they do it too much.
