You did a very good analysis of the scene. Movement and sound play key roles throughout the Avatar Universe and this is no exception. With earth-bending most of all, the bender’s body needs to move as if it is lifting that heavy weight. It has been some years since I have watched Korra, but seeing the movements and sound effects change from earth to metal was so seamless that it almost feels real. It also lets the viewer know that Kuvira and Suyin have been practicing for long time and honing their craft. Sadly, the animation quality does drop once the fight is over. Toph talking in the bamboo forest were only her mouth and eyes moved felt disappointing after such a fluid scene.
