How does the word ดังกล่าว translate to aforementioned or said?
It is a compound word made of ดัง which means as or like, and กล่าว which means to say or mention. Put together, it literally means as mentioned, but it functions exactly like aforementioned or the said in formal English.

Not usually. It is quite formal and is mostly found in news reports, business writing, or official statements. In everyday casual speech, you would simply use นั้น which means that, making the phrase เรื่องนั้น instead.
I learned that เรื่อง means story or movie. Why is it translated as matter here?
While เรื่อง is the word for a story, it is also a very common catch-all word for a subject, issue, or matter. Here, it refers broadly to the specific topic or event that people are discussing.
Why is there no Thai word for is in this sentence?
In Thai, words that describe things, like จริง which means true, act as verbs themselves. Because they already function as verbs, you do not need a connecting word like เป็น or คือ. You can just negate the describing word directly with ไม่.
