when somebody is talking about something requires a plural form, he uses "there's" as well.

Answer

You are correct. 
first off "there" doesnt have a plural form. if he is saying "there's" than he is saying "there is" 
"There is" would start a singular item description (I.E. There is my shoe. or even There's my shoe) 
"There are" would start a plural item description (I.E. There are my shoes. There are some people over there) 

However in lazy slang english, most people dont say "there are" they just say "there's" 
it's acceptable but wouldnt pass on an english test...
