again, not really. yes, its possible to stab with a katana. yes, it can be effective. but the downsides are too many. its more damaging to the blade (again, katanas bend, so stabbing certainly causes it to bend faster). it leaves you open to counterattack (which doesnt matter in league, as the only person capable of counterattack can do so no matter how or from where you attack). and its plain less effective. as for the video, thats a wakizashi. might not sound like a huge difference, but lower size makes stabbing easier. its easier to stab with an icepick than, say, a knife.
