Questions like this are unfortunately unanswerable.
There are no published security vulnerability report CVEs for that app, per a search of the CVE database.
Nor are there indications of any reported vulnerabilities posted elsewhere.
Which usually means that anybody that knows if the current version is exploitable is unlikely to admit to that detail here.
If you don’t trust a third-party app, remove the app.
If you have concerns about a third-party app and want a specific statement from the vendor, contact the third-party support organization: https://www.airscreen.app/support/

Of course it’s possible you’ve been hacked. That is very unlikely, but it is technically possible.
Is it likely you’ve been hacked in general, or if you’ve specifically been hacked through some streaming app? No. Not at all likely. Very unlikely, even. iPhone securoty is quite good.
If you’re a valuable target for well-funded adversaries, or if you’re loading sketchy apps from who-knows-where, or jailbreaking your iPhone, all bets are off.
Again, questions like this are unfortunately unanswerable.
