Isn’t this supposed to be 250? 150 seems really slow.

It should be 250 kts.
I recommend not learning carrier ops from DCS manual, better download PDF "Aircraft Carrier Operating Procedures for DCS World 2.5" which was written with help of real Hornet drivers.

Hi @SharpeXB

The procedure depicted in that excerpt refers to the CASE I landing. Although the gear can be extended below 250kts, this is a recommended step (emphasized by the word "generally" at the beginning of the paragraph) at that stage of the landing sequence, as is with the extension to full flap configuration, in this case to avoid the introduction of "balooning" on higher speeds. This text is not supposed to list aircraft limitations.

If you look at page 104 and 105 of the procedure of VFR landing, there it is stated the gear should be extended below 250 kts and that's operational limitation of gear operation. 

The Early Access manual may be reviewed in the future to revise some procedures and suggestions. But in this case, there doesn't seem to be an issue here.
