Yes that is true.

Clip from a recent news source on the matter... Then I'm out as I don't want to hijack this thread, but it was asked about in the video the OP posted.

A YouTube Toll For Using Copyrighted Music?
Something to keep in mind, I will not make money off of either of these. My channel has not been monetized and I will not see a dime from the views and clicks. It seems as though this ad is acting more like a toll, automatically enforced by YouTube, the forced cost of using intellectual property.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that this is a bad thing, but it makes me wonder who is making money off this ad? Obviously, if someone purchases the song from iTunes or Amazon, that's more cut and dry, but if someone clicks on the ad for the car dealership, who makes the money off that click? Is it the record company, the artist, or YouTube?
Maybe it's not a toll from Google or YouTube. It's a toll against them: record companies forcing YouTube to place ads on videos that have been identified with copyrighted music and then linking these ads to the record companies' Adsense accounts, thus gaining immediate revenue from the views and clicks.
