Your understanding is incorrect. The third parameter to the add_options_page() function is Capability, not Role.
This is made clear by the function’s prototype:
function add_options_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function = '' )
manage_options is a Capability. Administrator is not.
