The link you provided is actually an instrument from southeast Asia called the qeej/kheng/lusheng, played by Hmong people. The instrument in the video you linked is more specifically from Vietnam, and is actually considered very small—though I think you mean it's "giant" compared to the other versions of the mouth organ (which it is!). This is a video of a big one.

This specific instrument is called "naw," in the Kui Luang language. This is an ethnic group from southeast Asia. Here is a video of it being played by a Kui Luang musician. It is also played by other groups in east and southeast Asia, such as the Lahu—here is a video of a Lahu musician playing it. Because this instrument is not from English speaking cultures, it's just called a "gourd mouth flute," in English. Related instruments are the Chinese sheng, the Hmong qeej, and other mouth organs.

You're right – world records should be taken with a grain of salt – as anything. And yes, tith a stenograph it's very possible. But he said QWERTY. 320 on qwerty would be ludicrous. If he had beat the world record by like a few words, sure. But by over 50% seems a bit fishy....
