No.
That is an oversight being updated asap.
It is for Grade 1 or above.

Hi Mati, lots of us beginners (and some who have played for a long time) struggle with this! Here are a couple discussion threads you can review: Pick Manipulation, Guitar Pick Issues, Pick Slipping Tips. (I searched using the terms “Pick slip”.) You’ll see folks talking about fancy picks - as a fellow beginner I encourage you to stay with the thinner picks Justin recommends. If you do choose to explore picks, I’d suggest starting with a variety pack like this one from Dunlop. If you can’t find the variety pack, you can use the contents as a guide for what picks to try.

@matimusic Mati, when I was doing Grade 1 I used Dunlop Nylon .46 (thin white pick with some roughness on the surface) and Dunlop Celluloid Shell Light and Medium (I like how they look 
). Now I use various picks, but usually no more than .60mm thickness. I understand that you may not have a lot of selection available, but if you can find some thinner picks it would probably help you! For us beginners, thicker picks tend to get caught in the strings. That can make it harder to hold on to the pick while we learn.

I find that the pick you use depends on what sound you prefer, and what ever suits you personally.
As for slippy picks, try licking your fingers, or persevere with it until the pick makes friend with your fingers.
Hope this helps

Oh Mati, I’m afraid my beginner skills aren’t enough to comment on this one. Hopefully a more experienced player will have some guidance!

Hi Mati, the hand position looks better in the first picture but the pick may not be positioned correctly. It would help to show the picture with the wrist rotated so that the thumb and side of hand is facing camera and the pointed edge of the pick is seen sticking out from the side of the thumb.

@matimusic I am unsure what you are asking in relation to your photographs.
Justin does mention a ‘straight line’ though he does not mean that you have it rigid, as though tied to a metal rod. He emphasises many times that everything needs to be relaxed. He also mentions that your thumb needs to be bent a little to angle the pick.
This screenshot shows his arm when mentioning being ‘straight’. It is not straight like a line. The arm has curvature.
This shows the bent thumb to angle the pick.
I think that it is extremely difficult to show and describe and learn from a still photograph.
If you look at Justin’s hand when he is explaining the arm, his fingers are curled in, making a loose fist. But when he is actually playing music and strumming, those fingers uncurl and are much more relaxed, not in a fist but hanging loosely down.
Watch this lesson from about 1min 55 seconds. Focus on his arm, wrist, hand, pick-grip and the other three fingers. https://www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/keep-your-strumming-hand-moving-st1-08

Hi Mati, I think that your hand and pick position looks fine for a beginner. I know that you were complaining about dropping your pick when strumming. Justin says in the video that this is natural for beginners and not to worry. As @Richard_close2u and Justin say, don’t hold your pick too tight, so relax your hand a little and keep your arm relaxed. Use a thin pick and that will help. You don’t need to keep your wrist perfectly straight. The wrist needs to be relaxed. Start slowly and practice with muted strings. But most importantly, learn at least one song and practice your strumming by playing a song and have fun.
