Do it.
You'll be grand.
Everyone has to start somewhere, and nobody enters the professional end of things with a full-compliment of perfect gear.
But, you can often hire lenses and other equipment & there's currently a healthy market for second-hand x-mount lenses, so if you did buy one specially for this, you're unlikely to lose much if you sell it afterwards (though obviously research the situation and don't just take a randomer's word for it before laying down cash).
It sounds like they know you're not a professional and that they cannot afford to hire one, but you're correct to ensure they are clear about your experience & equipment & it might be wise to state that in writing as well.
