They do retain a reshimo, the Point in the Heart, which causes one to search for how he can return to the perception of the Upper Worlds. He doesn’t know that that is why he is interested in the wisdom of Kabbalah.
I’m not sure where the video is to which you’re referring, if it’s on YouTube it is likely that the unmute button at the bottom of the video needs to be clicked.
Taamim, Nekudot, Tagin and Otiot are, in fact, considered the Reshimot of the Partzuf. These are the entry of the Light, how the Light needed to be expelled, what that was like, and the impression left after the Light was gone. This is everything in the universe. These leave a bread crumb trail up which we can climb through the spiritual worlds.
Your thinking is correct. However, not exactly.
There are ten sefirot. Keter, Hochma, Bina, Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzah, Hod, Yesod, Malchut.
Sometimes we only talk about 5 though, in which case the group of Sefirot that includes Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzah and Hod is referred to as either “zeir anpin” or “tifferet”.
For example, Tifferet is generally more relevant when we talk about how the degrees unfold from Above downwards; whereas when we attain the degrees from below, Zeir Anpin is especially relevant. Zeir Anpin is Aramaic for “small face”, which means a small Light that can be attained at that degree.
