Road rust= rust from salted roads, as opposed to suface rust from wear,age & scrapes. (I grew up in Calif so i understand)
Beach rust or coastal rust are other types.

California has a SMOG inspection.

I don't see anything wrong with the listing myself; it's not a pristine car and makes no claims as such.
