I'd say the demo is more like what I'd call "settling with power" (i.e. running out of enough power to arrest a vertical descent) and flying out of it by putting the main rotor laterally into clean air to the side, rather than by a transition straight ahead.

It certainly doesn't look anywhere near as exciting as the fully developed VRS that I experienced, which involved quite rapid pitching, rolling and yawing.
