Howdy,

Here's more info! Those two files are ALMOST the same. There is a line in the latexusage.tex file (which is the one that compiles properly) that says

To support latexmk, 3D figures should specify inline=true.

and, indeed, the asymptote package is loaded with that option in that file; \usepackage[inline]{asymptote}. If you do that the Sample.tex file does typeset.

Good Luck,
