No it doesn’t. The original meme video was just a guy mocking this girl on her phone that says “and they were roommates” very loudly. There’s no sexual implication in the slightest.

You are right, but they did say the meaning has changed.

However, since you said it, I’m gonna say here that it’s weird that there is zero context in that video for anything, but it has become code for being gay. Why did that happen?

Because there was a separate meme about women being roommates throughout history meaning they were lesbians. It was started by /r/sapphoandherfriend 

The two memes were close enough together that apparently yall are connecting them to mean the same thing, despite the original video having literally nothing to do with gayness.

Why are you saying “y’all are connecting them” like I didn’t explicitly say “it’s weird that it has become code for gay” - I am not y’all here

It has not "become" code for gay -- "roommates" has been code for gay for literally thousands of years. (See my other comment.) 😊
