auth_token- (Optional) The password used to access a password protected server.
feels like that’d be better as “The auth token used to access an encrypted server”?

In the context of Redis (which is currently the only engine supporting this) it's called password: https://redis.io/commands/auth
AFAIK the transit encryption is unrelated to the auth token - you can encrypt it whether or not you use auth_token.
I assume the encryption in transit was added by AWS so that the password isn't transmitted in plaintext over the wire.
btw. the description matches description from the API reference: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/APIReference/API_CreateReplicationGroup.html
