 I've never heard of a custom Android ROM allowing IMEI changing. How does this work?

 It's not with the rom it's worth the phone he uses. A generic mediatek device you update. 

Oh it looks like he made a vid recently on how it's a so so privacy and usage issue

 I suddenly remembered I have a Doogee S40 Lite somewhere in a large box. Unlike the usual devices I tinker with, this one is Android-based, MT6580.  The IMEI editor code there is `*#*#8688#*#*`. Does it make it more privacy-friendly? Heck no. Doogee is notorious for inserting firmware-based trojans/adware in the past, so I still am looking for some alternative ROMs for that one.

 By updating NVRAM/EFS area accordingly.

 I'm a realist. I don't visit dubious links.
