Your first link is from 2004 and is not by the Transport Department, meaning it's not a reliable source for if a highway is an expressway. Detail could have been lost in translation.
As your second link clearly states, only the part of Ma On Shan Road at the intersection with Tate's Cairn Highway (i.e. the exit 7 slip roads) should be tagged highway=motorway_link or highway=motorway. Not the entire road. -

The first link is from the government, so it's reliable.

The road is also not in the next link's document, which is supposed to be an exhaustive list of every expressway in Hong Kong. Ma On Shan Bypass does not have expressway signage.

Since both documents are OFFICIAL AND CONTRADICTING, isn't it like contradicting laws? In this case, we should take the benefit of doubt, so Ma On Shan Bypass should be tagged as highway=motorway.

The EPD document is from 2004 and states "will be gazetted". The Highways Department document is a later document voiding the designations in the previous gazette from 1 December 2009, which presumably voided the ones in the previous, and so on, so if it was an expressway at its opening it isn't one anymore. (One badly-scanned PDF from 12 years ago is not really a good source for the question "Is this road an expressway?".)
I'm not sure what definition of "highway" you have but every single road listed in http://www.gld.gov.hk/egazette/pdf/20101448/egn201014487570.pdf is signed all over the place with green signs and kilometre markings, and has "expressway begins" and "expressway ends" signs (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Diagrams_of_road_signs_of_Hong_Kong) at every entrance and exit. Ma On Shan Bypass is not one of those roads.
