Not sure I understand—healpix starts from the rhombic dodecahedron and then bisects the generalizations of the 12 squares each time. Where do octahedra come into play?

My mistake, you are correct. The base solid is indeed the rhombic dodecahedron. I believe the point about the angular defect is still valid though.
