That page says "Quantity 100 starts at $229." Does that mean one board is $2.29?

I don't think so. Bulk pricing usually lists the per unit price. The quantity is denoted since you can get better pricing for larger quantity orders. For example, I may get a microcontroller for $4 when I order 10k, but you'd pay $25 if you just ordered one from DigiKey.

No, it means the price is $229 each if you order at least 100. Without the quantity discount, it's $269 each.
