Hydrogen is a strong reduction agent. It means that this compoud is likely to react with another compound and reduce it. When this reaction involves hydrogen and a metallic oxide, the tendency is to reduce the metallic oxide to the metallic form.
There is even a method to reduce iron ore, thus obtaining metallic iron, from the reaction of the oxide with hydrogen. The temperature only tends to make it more likely for the reaction to happen. The same would be observed if hydrogen were in contact with tungsten oxide.
