Yes. Genuine TwinAir air filters, same basic filter that comes stock on your bike, only it has honda written on the bag and only has one filter cage prong hole.
They are easily reusable, I wash mine with turpentine, and then warm soapy water. Seem to last for ages.
Although its worth noting that these are preoiled filters, but it would be prudent to re oil them as you would with a clean filter, I dont trust the thin layer that comes on them as being properly oiled.

I made the mistake of trying to get the oil out of my used one with my standard No Toil remover - baaad. Turned it into a sticky sludge mess.
Took a whole bottle of kero to get it out (so my "cheap" airfilter not so cheap if I include cost of kero - doh!).

What was the problem? Notoil? Or the filter oil?

User error The No Toil remover only works on the No Toil oil.

Twin Air uses a different type of oil. Filters are fine after a good dousing of Kerosene.
