Yes. The course’s starter setup is a phone or camera, a stable tripod, a window or suitable artificial light, and a few props and backgrounds. You don’t need to begin by buying a DSLR.

Practise lighting and composition with the phone you already have. The reference supports a simple starting setup, not a guarantee that every phone will produce identical results.
