No, it’s not the same effect. Your way just forces the cable into a neat-looking coil, but it twists the conductors inside. That’s why when you uncoil it, you get a corkscrew that won’t lay flat, tangles more easily, and eventually wears the cable out. The method in the video avoids putting a twist in the cable at all - so when you uncoil it, it lies flat, doesn’t tangle, and lasts longer.
