During the initial assembly when the motor is brand new at Honda, the full balancing treatment is present.
But when you go purchase these bits and pieces individually, they are not balanced anymore.
Have you driven a motor that has had the internals fully balanced? Well yes you have, because you own a Type-R. Really, to say that there's not much difference .... then I suppose Honda and others in motorsports divisions made the mistake of having their competition variants assembled in such a manner.
In short, if one were to follow or go beyond the Honda benchmark, you would opt to have your rotating assembly dynamically balanced - crank, rods, pistons, crank pulley and let's not forget the clutch (pressure plate, disc, flywheel)
