Or more likely, ffmpeg binary is embedded, considering that they don't provide instructions to download it on that page.

Yes, ffmpeg is included. It takes up 2.4MB. The rest is electron bloat.

That's not big enough to include even most native components. My essentials build with only common 3rd party libs (like libx264) compresses to 20MB with LZMA2.

I just looked inside the linux appimage. There's only a 2.4MB libffmpeg.so and it doesn't link against anything else than libc stuff.
