Yes, entrance fees to the Phnom Kulen sites are included in the tour price as noted in the itinerary.
Phnom Kulen was declared the sacred birthplace of the Khmer kingdom by Jayavarman II in 802 CE; many carvings and small temples date to pre-Angkor and Angkor periods.
Phnom Kulen sits within a national park where visitor pressure and informal trails can damage rock carvings and wildlife habitat; stick to established paths and take rubbish out with you.
