The board has two functions, to provide DC current to the motor using both polarities to get both directions and to monitor / control the servo position. If you are concerned about polarity then simply match the polarity of the pins to the polarity of the receiver's socket. Be aware that hobby grade servos expect a supply of 5-6 volts DC, the output of receivers. BEC standard leads need to be used. A hobby grade transmitter will allow you the reverse the servos movement for all channels separately, as it will the centering, end points as a minimum, but usually lots more, look ke channel mimicking, mixing.

Regarding the HL video, it seems they are using a standard cheap servo in a customised way where the swing control is done outside the servo, hence the two rather fat leads. Well, lets face it - nothing HL does is to RC standards!
