I don't remember the scene specifically, but dying shortly after making the thing is in no way a disqualifier for the trope.
Most wills, video or otherwise, are made long before death.
The key for the trope is did Howard intend for this to only be seen after his death?
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.I don't think so. The idea was that he couldn't tell Tony now because he was just a kid and the technology to fully unlock Howard's idea didn't exist yet. The recording was made prior to the Stark Expo in 1974, he died in 1991, and Tony didn't find the recording until 2010. In no way was this a video will.
mudshark: I don't expect Nate to make sense, really.
I don't think that it qualifies. "Recording made by a person now dead" is far too broad for "video will". Howard lived a long time after making the recording, the message was just something that he wanted to say to Tony because he had the camera set up and the expo prop in the background to refer to. Opinions?
