No, they are not. I can tell by the stone (and case) that he's using Shapton pro series stones, and he's not using the 30k.
You can purchase the #12000 on amazon for $66.23 in the US if you purchase the japanese version. https://www.amazon.com/Whetstone-Sharpening-Shapton-Ceramic-Kuromaku/dp/B002LVZG1E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480694080&sr=8-3&keywords=shapton+kuromaku
Now, there are certainly stones that are hundreds of dollars (naturals, choosera, shapton glass 30k, shapton pro 30k etc..), but what is in the video is not.

Grey market stones. Ethically not the best option, but they are the best value.
The Shaptons are really only mid-tier stones, but they are a good value even without going to the grey market stones. I have several and they are pretty solid performers, but there are certainly better options available at a higher cost.

Here's a Shapton. They're pretty good from what I've heard. I have a Naniwa though and those run for more.
