Yep, it's all whole grain. The whole reason oatmeal can be tricky for some people in the first place is because it's equal parts soluble and insoluble fiber. Instant oatmeal is cut into finer pieces - VERY fine pieces, heh - which can make the insoluble part easier for people to digest.
Personally, I'm fine with oatmeal, though, even the old-fashioned rolled kind, and quite a few people are. If you really love your oatmeal, you might want to give it a try and see how you do.  I add banana to mine for a bit of extra SF.
If you do try the instant, be careful of what flavor you buy - some of them contain dairy, and it's not always the obvious ones, either!
And if you're still looking for a substitute, you can also try cream of wheat. By the way, a lot of the time these cereals will be listed as having 0g fiber, but they ARE still SF. You can't always go by the "dietary fiber" count on the label.
Hope that helps!
