It wouldn't be hydrogen gas, it would be a solid compound, probably Lithium-6 Deuteride. I think the questioner really wanted to know the total amount of fusion fuel so the estimate seems plausible for that (the whole bomb weighed 27,000 kg).

If they truly only cared about hydrogen atoms it would be less, but it's hard to imagine why someone would care about that specifically.
