From the looks of the reflection, I would say that it's paired with another pinion underneath the bottom support plate via a live axle, which in turn is what engages the great big ring gear that goes around the perimeter of the module.

That makes for a 3-stage reduction in total, so I am inclined to agree that a worm gear would be a viable option here.
