I'm not so sure it is cut and dry to me. Watching it on film (or whatever) from ground level at a less than desirable angle it is tough to tell if the runner made her move prior to the catcher sliding into what may have been the basepath. Then again, I wasn't convinced any of the tag outs shown were good calls

And yes the PU looks like he is where ASA wants to to be. Not always the best place, but as per ASA mechanic.
ASA only instructs the umpire to start at the outside rear corner of the RHBB. The manual then notes the umpire should adjust as needed as the play as it unfolds.
