If it's a US kit its likely to be in US gallons. The equivalent kit of parts supplied by Amazon in the UK is in US gallons (look it up). If you are not sure why not ask the supplier or even the manufacturer.
Out of curiosity, do the instructions show pounds or grams?

US matey, I started my homebrew trip this year with a NB Chinook IPA and that was US
I've recently brewed the very same kit! (Bottles are currently conditioning)
It's all in US Gal, and all the temps are degsF, which frankly I found a pain in the hole!
A few tips:
1. Check the yeast is in date, and it might be worth checking on here if it's enough - I'm not sure if 6g dry yeast is enough for ~22L
2. Get yourself a thermometer and a hydrometer & trial jar
3. The magic syphon thing in my kit was rubbish - for bottling I ended up syphoning the old fashioned way!
4. Manage your expectations - the couple of bottles I tried were ok but only ok, rather sickly sweet. Maybe you'll have better luck than me - worst case, you've got all the gear you need to give all grain a go for brew #2 ;-)
