You could say the presence of atoms is a promising indicator that life could have been there. After all, life isn’t possible without atoms! And we know that on earth, living things leave many atoms behind!

See how silly this sounds? It’s the same with “organic compounds.” No, it doesn’t mean anything on its own unless the types and concentrations of them are unlikely to occur naturally. Which we did not get any indication of from this video.
