I understood that as the company offered to do the move for free after they requested to film, whereas a sponsored video would usually involve the company approaching them.

That is not really the important distinction, the crucial fact is rather if they paid for the service they are showing to their large audience or not.

That argument goes both ways though - they crucial fact is that they disclosed up-front whether they paid for the service.

It is up to debate if their disclosure was adequate, but to title a video ”we hired a company” and insist it isn’t a sponsored video, only to then reveal they did in fact not have to pay is not up-front.
