Print out and highlight : Piece System – for Central, North and South Americas (See Note 3) and carry it with them so that they can show the check in agent when problems arise.

I'd say check the TKT to be sure. US DOT rule only applies if US is the origin or furthest destination. Brazil's special rule also seems to only applies to journeys to / from Brazil. Without knowing OP's parents entire itinerary, all I can get from the GDS is below. This indicates BKK-HKG-JNB is 30k.
