Android apps don't pull in dependencies like that. But even though it's a 13 MB download, I see when installed it's showing me it takes up 76 MB, before I've even opened it for the first time.
No, I don't know why there is a discrepancy, nor why it told you 500 MB. But I do know the fancy new thing for apps is a split package, and usually apps require dynamic recompilation during installation, so that might be why they ask a safety margin of up to 500 MB. (But I agree it still seems high.)
