Mitsubishi supplied parts Mazda when the car was manufactured. I have found lots of Mitsubishi symbols in my engine bay.
Mitsubishi makes a lot of odd things, from pianos to parts for other japanese cars.

idk, it just seemed weird also because it does not look like a starter which is illustrated in the service manual i have (the thick green book)

Yeah, the new starter I put on was a Mitsubishi...and mine was $173.26 from ADVANCE AUTO PARTS, so you are right in the ball park.
Mazda buys parts from ALL OVER Japan for their cars, as do most other car companies. Look at the water pump...it is built by KUBOTA.
When I open the hood of my Volvo, half the stuff is built in Germany....it is just global supply.
