2749lbs / 200hp = 13.74lbs/hp

Your math is mostly right: JDM is 200 PS (197 hp) and the loaded trims with the keyless entry shown in the video are officially listed as 1230 kg (2712 lbs), which matches up with the 6.15 kg/ps in the video (6.15 kg/ps * 200 ps = 1230 kg).
It appears that they just used the manufacturer spec rather than weighing it themselves.

1230 kg
2.2046226 lb/kg
13.5584 lb/ps
0.98632 hp/ps
13.75 lb/hp (JDM loaded 86/BRZ)
Of course, that's only at ~7000 RPM.
I posted this elsewhere, but some of the reasons for the JDM weighing less than USDM are the lack of a spare and fewer speakers.
