In this situation, have you just completed a passing manoeuvre?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a narrow road through a village, and a white refrigerated lorry comes from the opposite direction and passes you; both vehicles are moving. In this situation you did not go around a stationary vehicle or obstacle (omijanie). The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act defines going around (omijanie) as driving past a vehicle, road user or obstacle that is not moving, and passing an oncoming vehicle (wymijanie) as driving past a vehicle or road user moving in the opposite direction. The lorry was moving, and towards you, so this was the manoeuvre of passing an oncoming vehicle. When passing an oncoming vehicle, you keep a safe distance from it and, if necessary, move to the right, slow down or stop - on a narrow road without markings, with a large lorry, you keep as close as possible to the right-hand edge.
Legal basis: Art. 2 point 26 and 27 and Art. 23 para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
