The offside law states when the ball is played/touched, not has been played/touched. It further clarifies that the first point of contact/touch is to be considered. They absolutely used the correct frame there.
Attacking players are allowed to outmanuevre/outrun defenders to be closer to the goal line than the second last defender once the ball has been played. If they weren't, football would be a very different game.
VAR, given the frame rate, its unlikely to get the correct point of contact - to then rule out chances by small differences, it cannot be that confident in its accuracy.

and this is where the problem lies with how VAR is being implemented. It's only supposed to intervene when there has been a "clear and obvious error". This is obviously open to interpretation, but noone can tell me that Hemed's arm being a few millimeters infront of the defender is a clear and obvious error. Yes, its technically correct, but not is the spirit in how VAR was intended to work. My take is that it should be making quick decisions based on what they see on the replays, not using some measuring software to work out if a player is off by a fraction.
