It is perfectly permissible for a price to be advertised but then broken down into its constituent parts at the point of sale such as base fare, YQ, airport fees etc. ...
How does that apply to award bookings?

I have seen Carriers in the past quote somewhat higher points costs for awards out of HKG, back when the SAR had banned YQ but haven't noticed this here.
