You're right. It needs to go through Lords. It will.
Regarding your last sentence: leaving no-deal off the table, and this being unable to walk away, would have meant we have no bargaining power.

It’s incredible how many times people have cried wolf about this.

If we have a deal that's going to include freedom of movement; if we don't have a deal we're going to be forced to include freedom of movement to get trading.
There's no version of the UK in 2022 that doesn't have freedom of movement for EU citizens.
A bill passed its 3rd reading in house of commons. It needs to get through the House of Lords. It still has some way before becoming law.

And when the UK crashes out of EU with no deal we'll inevitably re-allow free movement of EU workers because we have no bargaining power.
