Haven't read the Nature paper but it was an implanted organoid so primary cells (from the brain of a person) are possible but unlikely considering how difficult that sample is to get. What is much more likely is they used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and differentiated these cells into neurons in a dish.
iPSCs can be generated from just about any cell, even from the skin cells on the root of a plucked hair.

That song still gets stuck in my head occasionally.
