Yeah, the "nothing" that he talks about is not actually nothing in the true meaning of the word. At a quantum level, we know that space is filled with energy and is seething with things like virtual particles, quarks, gluons, quantum field fluctuations, fleeting electromagnetic waves and particles that pop into and out of existence, etc. And all these things are not "nothing."
I also posted a video on this in another thread which explains the things that occur in a quantum vacuum (or so-called "empy space"):
