For me it is not clear at all, why "The Vault" and not "Way Down" will be used as original title.
Based on Wikipedia (and also other site) the movie was initially released on 15th Jan. 2021 in Taiwan and Brazil. If the title from the first release should be used, it has to be the title used in Taiwan. BTW: I don't know the Taiwan title.
If the Local Release title should be used, the title of the Spanish release has to be used and so it should be Way Down.
IMHO the release titles and history is a little bit tricky for this movie…

The rule that apply here is this one : "One other notable exception are English-language movies produced by a non-English speaking country such as France, Germany, Italy or Japan. In those particular cases, the original title is usually the title used for the first non-festival release in an English-language country. More often than not, the original title is different from the title used in the (dubbed or subtitled) local version."
Consequently, the title that should be used is the United States title which is "The Vault".
