However, when an airplane is hovering there is no airflow over the ailerons, and so they can't be used to correct the counter-torque.
Not quite true here: in the video, you can see that the ailerons are being used to counteract the torque. The large deflection angles, though, do indicate that there is very little airflow over the ailerons.
