Timing belt question

Hi everyone.
I am Australian and have a 2018 wrx sti that has a timing belt change coming up. My local mechanic has told me to buy the parts and he'll install them.
Is this everything he needs ? Subaru Genuine Timing Belt/Water Pump/Thermostat Kit - Subaru STI 15-21 TBKIT008 | Pro Speed Racing


I note it says "Note: Suits Subaru Models with OEM Water/Oil Cool assembly as water pumpe requires three ports. Not suitable for models with only two ports on water pump"
So its fine as mines stock? I was confused, I thought there was 2 models of water pumps and you need to inspect to see which type mine is.
Thanks in advance.

I was looking at something like that. There's stuff in there I don't need though isn't there ? Can I buy just the water pump from that and use the rest from the other package ?

I'm really confused because when I google it that incorrect number keeps coming up. I might just get the dealer to do it then if it mucks up it's on them.
