org-ref should not get any credit for this. That is a feature of the built in org-cite library, which uses completing-read for that behavior. completing-read is only for reading one thing at a time, and org-cite works around that in a way that leads to the behavior you see. It looks like helm (if you use helm-mode), but it is actually the helm version of completing read, and not a helm selection command. Other completion backends use different bindings, e.g. ivy uses C-M-j I think.
