You need to pay for each continent your itinerary touches, whether it is a transit or a stopover.
I know the rules state that if you transit there (ME) from Europe to SW Pacific then Asia automatically is added as a continent, but is that true for Africa-SW Pacific or Africa-South America transit?
What that rule says is that even if your itinerary doesn't touch Asia (because you fly over the top without having a ticketed point within Asia), you still have to pay for Asia.
