How I see it is moral subjectivism is about feelings and preferences determining what's individually or universally right and wrong. Relativism is about accepting that the moral standards of other individuals or cultures should be respected no matter what.
I'd agree, there is a distinction between absolute/relativism and objective/subjective, although sometimes the line is quite fuzzy. In this context, I suppose it would the question of relative to what? I didn't write the article, but I would think it more accurate if subjectivism was used. Although I don't know that I have heard a relative position, that was not also subjective.
