That's incorrect. His altitude has nothing to do with their fuel octane recommendations. Engines are capable of running on lower octane at altitude. The reason that 91 octane is listed here is because they're quoting research octane number, like what is commonly used in China and Europe. The US measures a different way, thus our numbers appear lower. 87 (R+M/2) is roughly equivalent to 91 RON.
