Could be both if devs are lying to us and those locations really are the actual number of players online. In this case 300 players online based on the location count yet it states 442 hearthlings playing which could very well be the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th characters of the same few people in that count of 300.
Of course it likely does not work that way and some locations are simply hidden due to not enough players being online from other places at that time but I personally find it annoying that we don't get to see player count more accurately.
