No, you're reading it right. It's just written wrong. I also made a false assumption that it was a cross. It seems that it is an awarded cultivar. Awarded hybrids are given a cultivar name or clonal epithet to distiguish it from its siblings (of the same grex). This clonal name should be in single quotes.
It should probably read: Zuma Aussies Delight 'Zuma Beach' AM/AOS
The term "variety" relates to a unique population of a species with a particular characteristic. (for example, P. stuartiana var. nobilis or P. equestris var. illicos) Another term sometimes used is forma. The meaning of forma is a little different than the meaning of variety, but they both are used to specify a certain population of a species. (P. violacea fma. alba)

OK, I had no idea that there was all that going on. I appreciate the lesson. I understood most of it, 'Zuma Beach' was given to distinguish it from its siblings?

That is so fascinating! I have never had it explained to me like that. The grower I received her from said that she was an award winner. I thought he was just saying that.

Nope. The plant you have is either the actual plant that won the award or it is a clone. It's most likely a clone. But either way it's the same because a clone is genetically identical to the mother plant
Sorry if that confused you more. But the bottom line the plant you have has been awarded
