It's clear that the same principle applies for every digit. But is the converse true? ie: Almost all numbers DON'T contain the digit "3"

Not unless we equivocate and redefine "almost all" to be something other than what he used in this video, right?
He showed that the ratio of "whole numbers containing 3" to "whole numbers" is close to 1. So the ratio of "whole numbers not containing three" to "whole numbers" is close to 0.
