Yeah I’d always assumed ‘external help’ would be the dealbreaker, but I checked the onboard and you can see they jack the car up on to the ‘skateboard’ to move it back in to the garage (00:37 on F1TV feed). Perhaps it’s external powered help, I guess that would get around cars being pushed back by marshals too.
team can help. I think the “skateboard” is not considered different than the jacks, or even wheel guns for that matter. The Team is allowed to use tools on their vehicle during a pit-stop.

If marshals help, you’re out.
