Also, how should we count chapters? Like the first two videos are episode 1 part 1 and part 2. Would that be 2 chapters, or count the whole episode as 1 chapter?

I'm leaning towards "each video is a chapter."

Each video is only part of an episode.

Each episode isnt split evenly; while episode 1 has 2 parts, episode 4 has 4 and episode 5 has 3.

Count the parts of each "episode" as 1 chapter. For whatever reason, they're posting the chapter in separate parts instead of posting them as one whole chapter.

Process goes:
1. The mangaka draws their manuscript for the chapter
2. Gundam Ace scans and publishes it in their magazine every month.
3. Gundam Info turns it into a motion-comic episode but splits it into parts released every two weeks on their YouTube channel.
4. Chapters from Gundam Ace are collected into paperback volumes.

The main image of this MAL entry is the cover of the papeback volume, so we should go by how it numbers things. It doesn't split its chapters into parts.

Also of note: Not only does the motion comic split its episodes into parts but its numbering is currently 1 less than the manga version despite being up-to-date. The reason is chapters 3 and 4 in the manga were titled "ORB, first half" and "ORB, second half" respectively, so Gundam Info turned them into episode 3 act 1 and episode 3 act 2. This appears to be an on-the-fly decision by Gundam Info as both chapters 1 and 2 also shared an arc title, "When There Was Nothing", but their corresponding motion comic episodes kept the same numbers.
