They’re not circling the Earth, but they’re still orbiting it. Their orbit is highly eccentric, and will be near the Moon at apogee.

Yeah, makes sense. I was assuming the vehicle was also deliberately accelerating which would make a difference on a floating camera, but if it isn't, then gravity is the only force and no relative difference.
