JLCPCB and Altium Design Rules Issues

JLCPCB "PCB Manufacturing & Assembly Capabilities" is kinda confusing.

So for a two layer PCB,

alt text

it says "2-layer: 0.15mm hole size / 0.25mm via diameter." That would mean the pad width or "annular ring" can be 0.05mm right?

\[ \frac{0.25}{2} - \frac{0.15}{2} = 0.05 \]

but wait: alt text

Now it says: "2-layer: 1 oz: Recommended 0.25 mm or above; absolute minimum 0.18 mm."

I guess a via doesn't count as a PTH (Plated Through Hole)?

By default in Altium you set your minimum annular ring: alt text and this applies to vias and PTH. So... I guess Altium probably shouldn't do this by default?
