No... This buttons are quite similar as Suzuki's and Yamaha's low-level carburated bikes; the starter switch is used as the decompressor actuator ad the red button is the on/off one: it feeds/unfeeds the whole electrical system of the engine: ignition and electric starter. It is there for security reasons: that way you are able to stop the engine with both hands on the handlebar.
When the engine is warm enough, it is not necessary to hold the throttle (well, having the idle a bit rev up for city use also helps). Try to start it after a ride and you'll see that it will start easily without touching the throttle.
If it's a freezing cold morning, i usually kick mine over around five times with the choke shut, then twice with it open.
Then i kick the bike into life and adjust the idle screw to stop the thing from stalling.
I love my enfield, it always starts first kick and i only have to fill the petrol tank twice a month to take me to a from work.

Yeah, u'r right. It must be a problem with the camera because, despite how it sounds on the vid, I checked them and they were right.
