And IIRC no static linking unless you make your source available.



No, you only have to make your proprietary compiled object files available. what lgpl requires is for the user to be able to update the LGPL parts - so Qt in this case and this does not need your code.

Is that just actual static linking, or is bundling everything in a directory okay?


Bundling a directory is fine if you're still dynamically linking.


Correct. As long a linking is dynamic, Qt doesn't care how/where the Qt libs are distributed. They typically recommend bundling for Windows and using system packages for Linux.
