Just direct usage of styling, specifically anything approximately matching 'style="[...]"'. The script only looked at the wikitext directly used in pages as that's what's provided by the XML dumps.
I think having styling in templates is at least a much better place for it, as template invocations are tracked/indexed by MediaWiki and the use of templates means that the styling code is a lot more centralized.

Perhaps some deeper segregation of those stats would be useful. ie: Separate the numbers of styles used between templates and pages.
Then we might have a better idea of what kind of patterns are being used directly in pages that should actually be moved to templates or stylesheets.
