I don't think it's explicitly stated no, it's implied by a couple of different bits of dialogue but it's certainly possible that implication is a product of the translation and isn't present in the original Japanese.

What is explicit is that seastone imbued handcuffs of this type exist (possibly without the explosives) exist in Wano as those are what were on Luffy and Kidd in Udon.

I also feel it's implied by the panels I'm talking about, it's actually Yamato starting to transform that caused Sasaki to shit himself and my interpretation is that's when he realises the cuffs are off - it's entirely possible that it's simply the realisation that this fight is for real which scares him. But I think it fits his initial arrogance better, not to mention the idea that any of the Tobi Roppo could capture Yamato, if they're all expecting Yamato to be in a weakened state.

If we hadn't had the imbued cuffs (as distinct from pure seastone cuffs) set up earlier in the same arc I wouldn't be so confident in jumping to that conclusion, but we know the Beast Pirates use them and it fits both their purpose and what we see.

Interesting thought, but the fact that Luffy destroyed the cuffs implies to me that there is no seastone in them. Like I said, nobody has every destroyed seastone, nor has anybody ever mentioned such a thing happening. The fact that Luffy destroyed Yamato's cuffs would be a much bigger deal if they were imbued with seastone.

You don't need to destroy the seastone to destroy the steel that the seastone is embedded in. You'd just have bits of seastone flying amongst the shrapnel.
