What's not clear to me on the video is whether jev is doing the button presses for controlling the character to move around.

The "Jev calls" counter only seems to increment at junction points like battles, conversation prompts, menus etc.

Is something else moving the character around?

It's connected to the ROM of the actual game, so it can see a lot of things. It has multiple tools available, including being able to move to coordinates.

All in the OSS repo if you wanna play around with it: https://github.com/christianmat/jev-pokemon
