Which Android version or how old is the video?

and therefore
1. installed sqlite and libsqlite-dev
2. Downloaded dump-contacts2db.sh from 
https://github.com/stachre/dump-contacts2db/
3. FAILED to turn this script into an executable using chmod +x

Download Raw rendering and move from Downloads or wherever to your local personal bin directory then "chmod -v a+rx dump-contacts2db.sh".

and therefore
4. failed to achieve the one-line command
     $ dump-contacts2db.sh contacts2.db > contacts.vcf
Can anybody help with item 3 or offer an entirely different / better / easier 
method to achieve the conversion?

Learn enough sqlite to list tables, and columns in tables, to check if that matches with the script columns and assumptions, and perform the query yourself in the utility, to check or customize the script for your own needs.
