My Dad was a mason or 'bricklayer' as he said. He always put rebar in his concrete footings. Even for a 2 foot high planter. And especially for a higher retaining wall, he would use concrete blocks and then face with bricks or stone. I used to go on sites with him when I was a kid and remember that. And he did a lot of block and brickwork at our house. I suppose it's easier to use rebar when laying blocks and filling those with more concrete.
I don't see any rebar with the decorative type of blocks that lock together (8:09). I'd worry about using those for a hillside retaining wall with no rebar reinforcement. Even with the drainage behind.
