I'm not saying that this video is real at all (mainly because I have absolutely no idea if it is or not) but let's not forget that Epic's primary objective at the end is that their engine is used for as many developers as possible, so I really doubt that they would sign a deal that would prevent them from talking about how their engine runs on PCs.

But a deal that the demo they were working together with Sony to be in the hand of another team using it on notebook at the same time and using that to take jabs at Sony?

Why would you believe that Epic and Sony had a legal deal.  Meaning that something on the level of a paid deal.  Just because Epic US showed the demo running on the PS5 doesn't mean other regions have the same goal.  The real goal of UE5 demo period is to sell UE5 to developers.  In China, demoing on the PS5 probably isn't a selling point but doing so on a PC is.  Evidently the demo can be run on PC and Probably XSX but that was not the aim of US Epic.
