I’ve never heard that. I’ve always heard that Brahman = God, the Trimurti (Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma) are the three main “aspects”, and every other “god” is a further “subdivision” thereof.
I finally took the time to rewatch this video and Vishnu and Shiva have their cults who worship them as main god next to other lesser gods. I think what you are referring to is within vendata hinduism which isn’t explained in the linked video but the video is still worth watching.
