NO, the whole image doesn't have to be blurred, just a tiny part of it may.
Motion blur is motion blur, there's no mystery there. You could work out camera shutter speed from the blur on rotors and relative subject/camera/background motion is visually obvious. They'd be no reason to suspect the cabin floor to be significantly moving/vibrating on its own? The only localalised effects i'd expect would be heat haze and we all know where that should be.
At the risk of almost getting back on topic, the canadians do like putting their registration in a difficult-to-read-from-the-side place on the 206L, see this similar example for the text on a curve effect:

If you look at the underside of that 206L, it's not flat as i'd assumed (are they all like this?) so with a low resolution image and the eye's habit of assuming one dark patch and another dark patch match, i'd agree the image may well have been not retouched.
Did anyone spot Santa in the back?
