I wouldn't put too much stock in estimates of third-world IQ. The methodology tends to be shit. Also, even if it was good, while IQ in the First World is extremely heritable, that probably isn't true in the Third World -- actual poverty (not the BS American version where you only get limited minutes on your Obamaphone), including severe malnutrition and parasite infestation, takes its toll.
Genes define potential. The environment (which includes fellow species members) determines whether or not that potential is fully reached. If you're a potential genius surrounded by dumbfucks, you'll probably just be the cleverest dumbfuck of the bunch.
I highly doubt the people running the site are also the ones collecting the data. Chances are they’re simply compiling and publishing data that is provided to them. So in this case that info would more than likely come from the North Korean government.

Probably they didn't test the starving people in the re-education camps.
I wouldn’t trust any information coming out of North Korea.
