Minor children are included in the count no matter where they live or who claims them on their tax return.

If all 3 kids are his, then he has to claim them all for purposes of the I-134, whether or not they live with him. He also needs to count everyone in his household, so looks like a household size of 6: your brother, his wife, 3 kids, and the beneficiary.
