Is there a way in Houdini to enter three values by typing it once? Eg same x, y, z scale values. I really hate typing same value 3x.

You can address things like these with macro apps like Autohotkey on Windows or xdotool on Linux or Keyboard Maestro on macOS. It would take a minute to create the macro, at most, and then you'd have a hotkey that can put the same X values into Y and Z for you.

Look at the attached, real-time video of how that could work.

It's lesser known, but you can do this in the parameter spreadsheet by selecting multiple parameters in the spreadsheet. It's not very intuitive to use though.
