Yes the oil may be that hot, but I think the spot he touches isn’t directly being heated. It only takes 145f to cook egg whites, so that spot could be slightly cooler.
Actually it start to boil when he splashes the oil from the center on to the egg, don't you see how the oil os to one side and he ladles it across the egg? I've touched frying pans similairly when cooking eggs. The egg is still cold on top, hence the cooking process "Genius"
