They haven't been using this in video games or movies for some time, they've been using 3D software and various tools with a much more complicated technique to do the same thing. What they've done here is take this sophisticated process and combine it into one workflow and in a very thorough and accurate way. Also they've made it possible with any type of image, typically you need HDRI or other special imaging tools.
" Currently, to insert objects into the scene, some scene geometry must be manually created, and lighting models may be produced by photographing mirrored light probes placed in the scene, taking multiple photographs of the scene, or even modeling the sources manually. Either way, the process is painstaking and requires expertise.
We propose a method to realistically insert synthetic objects into
existing photographs without requiring access to the scene, special
equipment, multiple photographs, time lapses, or any other aid."
