A hairy landing
There's no such thing as a dumb question.
Yes NWS is engaged whenever the steering switch is on (gear down), Adrian. However, you only get around 8 deg either side of centre (from memory) with the rudder pedals alone. The tiller gives you full steering (70 deg either side) but is not normally used above around 70kt IAS.
What you see is 'weathercocking' into wind. Proper control technique can minimise or completely overcome it. IMO, that landing was doomed from about 100' AGL.
