Why is this example calculating a Deferred Tax Asset?
Only depreciation gives rise to Deferred Tax Liabilities
Initially, tax losses were created but no tax credit was received. In the future, provided certain conditions are met stipulated by local jurisdictions, future tax liabilities may be (partially) offset by these losses carried forward, i.e. in the future they will be an asset – a deferred tax asset
Tax losses always give rise to Deferred Tax Assets

It provides a sense check to ensure Deferred Tax Assets do not go negative
