The configure line shown is a part of the chromium tree. Chrome is not chromium.

The ffmpeg DLL distributed with Chrome includes the H.264 symbols (verify it yourself by running strings on it) and, incidentally, does not include the symbols for GPL only ffmpeg code).

And if that isn't enough evidence for you, Google could have dispensed with the whole thread instantly by saying "We don't use ffmpeg for that".
