I'm very new to the game, does the average user needs all these stones?

NO! in no way does anyone 'need' al those beautifull stones. if you have a shaving razor 1 single finishing hone is enough to maintain it

if you want to start buying straight razors at a fleamarket or from ebay or whatnot it could be an idea to buy a simple set of 1K, 4K, 8K of the norton stones or a set of two hones from naniwa, 1K and a 3|8 K combo hone.

and if you want to improve on those edges you could get something in their collection

Definately no, as already mentioned one can be used...also Barber Hones for touch ups can be a choice...
