Here's how I understand it. 3 seats are unbooked & 5 more can be booked allowing an overbooking of 2 pax....hence 3 avail/5 authorized. The 5 HK's are included in the booked number, they have just not been assigned a seat yet. That is why you see the 10 seats available on the airport standby list. There are most likely a few pax who have not checked in yet.
IMO the best picture in regards to getting on the flight is the airport standby list.
