Seller claims he has N more offers, and ask you a counter above your original offer (which was already above asking).
Is it possible this is just bs and he has no other offers? Are they required to show any proof of having them? Or is this practice just a way of "-I think I can skin you a bit more..."

Legally the seller can't lie about the offers (if any), but you can't verify that yourself. However if the seller agent lies about the offers, they'll lose their license and so it's very unlikely to do so.
But if the seller has some offers that seem higher in numbers but have some terms that are not favorable (like contingencies), then they might prefer to take a lower offer and by talking to you this way (i.e. asking for more) they basically want to match their higher offer. This is not uncommon and it's legal, as they're not lying. So it's your agent's job to figure out what's going on.
