Well, I don't think the meaning of this term is that rigid and clear, but I think today most people just use that term to describe an ending where the "solution" to the conflic isn't earned. Since the main conflict of Penguindrum doesn't revolve around Ringo, if it is resolved by her then it would seen like deus ex machina.
I personally wouldn't use the term "deus ex machina" myself but I don't think its usage in this context is necessarily wrong.
