I'm with Don. The tensioner pulley is on a spring loaded tensioner so seeing it move is probably not that big of a deal. Maybe compare it to another FA20 engine if you want some extra assurance. But the tick is most certainly DI pump and nozzles. Very typical of newer gas direct injection vehicles. Hell, the Kia Optima Turbo & Hyundai Sonata Turbo have a 2" thick high density foam inside the engine cover to quiet it down as much as possible, but it's still diesel-status.
The other thing that makes youtube sound diagnostics a bit tough is that most smart phones have extremely sensitive microphones for high frequency noises. So for one of us to compare what we hear on a car in person to your video is a tough comparison as well.
