XE rate at the time:
Given the choice between TWD (worth USD 1,656.80 per an independent source) or a dynamic currency conversion (DCC) rate of USD 1,918.26, presumably you chose the former.
I agree that the "15.0% Markup" language definitely seems to imply reference to the TWD price -- both by the parenthetical usage, and placement before the second option number (2). This seems a blatant attempt to steer purchasers into making the more expensive choice.
