I am going to buy a 30 gallon tank. I was wondering if i put all the water, gravel, and filter into the 30 gallon would it instantly cycle the tank?

If you do, then yes. It would be cycled, but you would have to stock the tank very slowly to allow the beneficial bacteria to increase in population as the ammonia increases.
