No it isn't.
All the suit has is a mystical power source that Thor gave to Stark to provide electricity for the world. The rest of the suit is just normal Stark tech. Maybe Surfer couldn't transmute the power source, but he can easily to that to both the armor and Stark's body.
Here is the bio for the Thorbuster armor from the advancediron web site (which isn't up anymore for some reason):
Reinforced lead coating and stardard armor steels.
Power Source and Energy information:
The armor is powered by an Asgardian mystical element, similar to that in Thor's hammer.
Control Systems Interface:
Cybernetic interface and battle computer.
Weaponry:
Type X Repulsors: Experimental repulsors that can be delivered in a power blast or kinetic punch.
Equipment:
Life Support: Asgardian magic, keeps the wearer breathing easy.
Boot Jets: The boot jets are actually magically based, allowing the armor to float.
Energy Absorption: Absorbs Asgardian energy from Thor's hammer to the Enchantress' magic and can then manipulate it.
Eye Flaps: Protect's Tony Stark's eyes from being blinded by energy output flashes.
Notes:
The Thor Buster armor was designed by Tony Stark as a precaution agaimst Thor -- if his good deeds went bad. The power source for the armor was originally part of a new type of power generator that Thor left Tony Stark to possibly use as a new energy source for mankind.
