Seems both statements are true :)

The above patches relate to parts of the Chromium source named V4L2. But for the most efficient desktop video decoding you need to use VAAPI (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=463440).

I'm not sure those two are related, or that the former can be used to help desktop like the latter does. So the Bug Description is very confused at the moment. To resolve that confusion please log a bug with Chromium upstream requesting whatever you think is missing and we can then rely on upstream's answer:
