He's actually wrong about coriolis and P factor on a turbo prop.

Anyway, there is a simple reason for this rudder trim phenomenon and that is because the right hand engine is started first the right hand thrust pixies are that little bit more warmed up than lefties and, therefore, produce that little bit more thrust, hence yaw, hence trim required. Easy.
