ELI5: How is it in documentaries about wild animals that the animal act as if no threat (like the camera crew) is around. Is the crew like really far away using cameras that can zoom in real close?

Yes, usually the camera man is far away. Another technique is camping in a spot nearby and remaining still and/or camouflaged for long periods of time allowing the animals to acclimate to the camera operator. They dont use big crews like normal television productions, usually one to three people depending on the location.
