X-men had Senator Kelly want to start the Mutant Registration Act. So Magneto creates a machine that would turn humans into mutants (allegedly). He then poisons Xavier using Cerebro. The X-men have to stop him.

How is Mags poisoning Xavier a betrayal? They were estblished earlier as enemies. With Xavier even trying to kill him.

X2 has Stryker attack the President using a mutant to so he can get the okay to storm the Xavier School. He learned about the Xavier School by brainwashing and assaulting Magneto. Magneto uses the X-men to get him into the base so he can turn Dark Cerebro against humans. The X-men has to stop this.

Again no betrayal here. The X-Men never trusted Magneto nor wanted his help but he’s too powerful to get rid of and are forced to let him pal along. The X-Men never even face off against Magneto.

X3 has Warren Worthington, II fund a "cure" for mutants. Magneto doesn't like this so he rallies an army to go against them. Along the way he finds out about Jean being alive and turns her against Xavier. He then uses Jean to attack Alcatraz Island and the X-men has to stop him.

Except the cure wasn’t been used against mutants, except when they were criminals. Magneto is the aggressor in the film. The betrayal aspect is again lacking since the X-Men view Magneto as an enemy through the entire film.

The only movie that subverts this is Apocalypse by turning that human character into a mutant. Although you can still say that Moira is the human that starts things off. But everything else is the same. Magneto betrays the X-men by kidnapping Xavier. He starts moving all the metal in the world, killing a bunch of people, and the X-men has to stop him.

How did Magneto betray Xavier? They weren’t allies until the end. Even the ending of DOFP didn’t have them as allies.

Calling each other old friend and such, then going into his home secretly. Betrayal.

Them teaming up and being on the same side then switching the machine around instead of getting Xavier out. Betrayal.

He didn't want the cure at all because "he knew" that it would be used against mutants indiscriminately. Also, he walked into Jean's home under a truce. Then, instead of trying to calm her down, he riles her up until she kills Xavier.

He helps Apocalypse get to Xavier. Through the prequels they aren't really enemies. It all comes down to Xavier not letting Magneto go down a dark path. So, yes, Magneto, who has been said to not be brainwashed by Apocalypse, is betraying his "friend".
