Hi,
What you say is correct. This is how it would work with OS 6.
An even easier way, also possible with ReadyNAS OS 6 devices, would be to share that video by sending an email link. In this case the other user could access the file without the need to setup an account. However, anybody else receiving that link could also access that file until you un-share it or the maximum number of downloads allowed by you has been reached. Also, via email link you are only able to share files not folders. So, you can decide, simple sharing via link or sharing with dedicated ReadyCLOUD users.
And as you say, speed would be good as you will have LAN speed.
