I’m also not so skeptical of situations like this occurring.
I’ve regularly met randos in hostels and been convinced to go clubbing with them that night, occasionally with the intention of something sexual (with the women, obviously. I don’t think I’ve ever had a gay male try to get me to go with them), with no prior knowledge. Occasionally that has landed me in some less than ideal places, overseas. So I would honestly believe it.
The only outlier for me is, as you point out, that they weren’t upfront about their proclivities. But who knows, honestly…

You also get sucked into cults, so you're not a shining example of normality here...
Maybe they thought they were going to turn the guy gay.
