Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a small residential street between blocks of flats and reaching its end, where there is sign D-41 "end of residential area"; you intend to turn left, and a car is coming from the left. Leaving a residential area is joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu), so you give way to everyone, also to vehicles from the left. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act counts driving onto a road from a residential area as joining traffic and requires the driver joining traffic to exercise particular caution and give way to any other vehicle or road user. The right-hand rule does not apply here - you are not at an uncontrolled junction of equal roads, but you are leaving the area. You stop at the exit and move off when the road is clear in both directions.
Legal basis: Art. 17 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 58 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
