While we're waiting for someone in the know to answer...
Obviously I can't comment on this particular workout
, but in terms of weight in general, as long as you can hoist those dumbbells up safely, you can use them instead of a barbell.
Once the weight gets heavy though, a barbell and a bench with a rack is a good idea. For me, any overhead exercise over 50 lbs requires a move to the barbell.

I recall a comment that even in STS dumbbells can be used to sub any barbell move. Although there are other benefits to using barbells, I would imagine you are still getting a great workout with dumbbells. I can't think of too many barbell exercise that can't somehow be modified with dumbbells.

Is a barbell required?
Yes, you can always substitute dumbbells for any weight workout that uses a barbell, including STS Total Body.
