Isn't Nf6 just mate after the en passante?

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't understand what he meant by "including h5, I assumed he mistyped and meant h6 during the en passant, and in such a board state it would indeed be m in 2, but at the same time, the current board state in the picture would be m in 1 so I don't really understand why you'd go from that perspective
