correct as far as it goes, but not complete.

The video shows the hold in winding only operating. The hold-in is insufficient in itself to pull the pinion into mesh, which is why the pull in winding exists.

To go even further, the current through the pull-in passes through the starter and allows the armature to rotate slowly. This assists the pinion mesh with the ring gear.
