Or is it a flag on the spell maybe?

It appears that although the m2 does have places to control the camera, what I am looking for is in spell effects. I tested this by simply replacing the models of an old mount used by the vanilla with the the new m2, and mounting up. The camera moves up. If you make new mounts with the same m2, the camera does not adjust. There's something else controlling whether or not the camera moves up, likely related with aura effects or a flag or something

Camera movement is automatically adjusted by the client based on the position of the attachment used for player attachment. If it moves down, the attachment is low to or on the ground. In flying zones the camera height is updated via the $CMA event in the m2, or rarely by the $CFM event.
However, in addition to this, camera height can be capped with the mount height column in creature model data dbc.

But how does the client know when to automatically adjust it? I mean what's the trigger?

I think all the pieces are in place except the client knowing "hey I'm mounted now"

When you mount, the camera moves either up or down depending on where the attachment point is. When you get on a mount, it considers the player at whatever position the attachment is at, so camera will update accordingly
