Does rapeseed oil count as canola oil here?
Yes. The catalog treats rapeseed oil and low erucic acid rapeseed oil as the same preference ingredient as canola oil, because those are the label names for that oil.
Seed oils

A seed oil from rapeseed, printed as canola oil or rapeseed oil.

What the label is naming
Canola oil is the culinary name for low-erucic-acid rapeseed oil. On US packages the usual words are canola oil; import labels more often say rapeseed oil. AisleSwap treats those printed names as the same preference ingredient.
Where it hides
It is common in crackers, granola bars, mayonnaise, frozen potatoes, and the parenthesis under vegetable oil. A blend line such as canola and/or sunflower oil still names canola, so the match is the named oil, not the blend as a guess.
