When was the mod last updated?
The source listing reports February 5, 2017 as the last file update. A later comment or catalogue refresh does not mean the mod file changed. Official source ↗

Are these the real Steam Workshop numbers?
ModOrNot stores public Steam Workshop counts from its collection runs. The totals shown here are the latest counts stored in our catalogue; changes over time are calculated from recorded observations, not invented values. They can differ from the live listing until the next collection.
