Yes they did. SOP is for doors to be disarmed on arrival (following cue from flight deck) crosschecked and confirmed by all-call. As the slide popped out immediately from that back right door it means it was certainly re-armed.
As do I, & most people I know, but this was when the passengers were likely already prepared to exit the aircraft normally. Survival depends on applying the most sensible solution to the actual event, not rigid adherence to a particular rule when the context demands otherwise.

As I said previously, my comments are based on my flying experiences in my home country, and others that I have visited, where pax are requested to remain seated until airbridge or steps are in position.
It this case, they cleary were on the move before either.
Different "customs" for different countries I guess !
High flight
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth (1), And danced (2) the skies on laughter silvered wings
Sunward I've climbed (3), and joined the tumbling mirth (4)
Of sun-split clouds (5) and done a hundred things (6)
You have not dreamed of -
Wheeled and soared and swung (7)
High in the sunlit silence (8).
Hov'ring there (9)
I've chased the shouting wind (10) along and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air (11).
Up, up the long delirious (12), burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights (13) with easy grace, Where never lark, or even eagle (14) flew
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space (15), Put out my hand (16), and touched the face of God. (from John Gillespie Magee Jr., "High Flight")
NAA SUPPLEMENT to "High Flight"

- Flight crews must insure that all surly bonds have been slipped entirely before aircraft taxi or flight is attempted.
- During periods of severe sky dancing, flight crew and passengers must keep seatbelts fastened. Flight crew should wear shoulder harnesses if provided.
- 3. Sunward climbs must not exceed the maximum permitted aircraft ceiling.
- Passenger aircraft are prohibited from joining the tumbling mirth.
- Pilots flying through sun-split clouds must comply with all applicable visual and instrument flight rules.
- Do not perform these hundred things in front of Flight Operations Inspectors.
- Wheeling, soaring, and swinging will not be accomplished simultaneously except by pilots in the flight simulator or in their own aircraft on their own time.
- Be advised that sunlit silence will occur only when a major engine malfunction has occurred.
- "Hov'ring there" will constitute a highly reliable signal that a flight emergency is imminent.
- Forecasts of shouting winds are available from the local meteorological office. Encounters with unexpected shouting winds should be reported by pilots.
- Pilots flinging eager craft through footless halls of air are reminded that they alone are responsible for maintaining separation from other eager craft.
- Should any crew member or passenger experience delirium while in the burning blue, submit an irregularity report .
- Wind swept heights will be topped by a minimum of 1,000 feet to prevent massive airsickness-bag use.
- Aircraft engine ingestion of, or impact with, larks or eagles should be reported to the Authority and the appropriate aircraft maintenance facility.
- Air Traffic Control (ATC) must issue all special clearances for treading the high untresspassed sanctity of space.
- Pilots and passengers are reminded that opening doors or windows in order to touch the face of god may result in the loss of cabin.
Thank you for your insight alfaman !

Do you pause to stow your case and backpack somewhere, holding up passengers behind you as you do? Do you drop them at the exit, blocking egress for those following you? Or do you just bring them with you, as demonstrated in this video? Different circumstances call for different actions.
