Based on what I’ve seen before with Nico, I’m guessing it was able to figure out that the reflection was giving it information about itself, and then updated its self-model based on a change in the reflection.
I don’t know what “genuine self-awareness” is, but this is a lot different from a robot programmed to say “I’m aware and am aware of my own awareness.”

So basically, it shows that the robot understands what a mirror is.
