I think you're right that most DeepFakes use Variational AutoEncoders (As described by the article) where the latent space is jointly distributed between the two domains, allowing for translation. For additional context: AutoEncoders are also frequently adversarially regularized so you're not wrong about GANs being involved. My understanding is that the most accurate implementations also have some manual feature engineering for more tractable problems like facial orientation.

I am disappointed in the level of fear-mongering pearl clutching; it could[0] get so much worse! First, the person creating the fakes is using an off-the-shelf algorithm[1], adapted accordingly. A system designed purely for the purpose of swapping faces (or morphing a particular face into others, one-to-many style) would obviously yield improvements. Secondly, it's the work of one person without commercial backing[2]. A studio that invested in lidar or used multiple cameras would be able to incorporate volumetric information. Third, it's limited to individuals where you have a performer…
