counter-steering is the only way to accurately modify lean angle. lean angle is your main steering method on a motorcycle going above 2 mph.

the only "catch" is that at extremely slow speeds like on a bicycle, your body weight is able to counter-act the lean provided by counter-steering, giving you a more car-like steering feel.

the reason you "see" their bars going in the direction of the turn is because that's what the bike does to turn that direction. counter-steering comes before that point. if you watch carefully on all those videos you can see the bars turn the opposite direction very briefly. like i said, counter-steering is how you change lean angle. lean angle determines your steering

Actually you have that backwards, Countersteering determines where the bike goes, with leaning as a result. Check out keith code's no bs bike
