New versions of the Apple mobile phone software seem to record and play correctly as you said but in the Android world some selfie video still seems to be reversed. From discussions on user forums it seems that it may even vary with the phone used.
And, in the context of this mishap, the selfie video seems to me to be mirrored in the mobile phone video posted earlier. I'm not absolutely sure but I don't think Ms. Cakrawati was in the left seat for some of the video as some people here surmised.
Also, the video clip from Instagram linked above appears to be a second generation video of the original playing on a mobile phone recorded by another phone. If you look closely, you can see the reflection of the second phone being held above the screen of the phone playing the video.
