No, it means the last legal owner was Japan. The ruling imperial government of China gave up Taiwan to Japan in 1895 (who called it Formosa). That was the end of Chinese "ownership". Japanese sovereignty was brought to an end in 1945, by which time only the Nationalist forces were in charge of that part of China.
There is no analogy. The Chinese Civil War involved a struggle between two actual governments, not mere political parties of a common government. Taipei was the last capital of the Nationalist government.
Bur, as I do not propose to argue over facts, I shall not argue.
