No.
Sockets, lighting and other electrical accessories require a protective conductor which connects them to the main earth terminal for the installation.
Standard installation practice since for ever.
Extraneous conductive parts which includes items made of metal that are in contact with the Earth outside, or bolted to a concrete foundation, or are items such as metallic pipes which enter from underground require a bonding conductor between them and the main earth terminal. For a traditional metal framed building this would typically be a single connection to the robust metal frame at a convenient accessible point.
However given the construction methods of what is in the video, it's very likely that none of the parts are extraneous and no bonding is required.
Metal framed buildings are not caravans.
TT installations are not some magical solution to everything, and in an urban area with adjacent TN-C-S supplies it will be very difficult or even impossible to create a TT installation.
Bonding things where no bonding is required makes things worse, not better.
