Maybe I'm missing something but...
If you won your last game with (an incredible) 110 points NOT using the temple, where is the winning temple strategy?
BTW: I agree with you that the temple is very important in a 2 player game, but it seems you just found a way to get around it.

I think the implication is she utilized the temple through gains on Chichen Itza while placing the skulls. I have only played this game two player, so far, and my wife and I have felt that any strategy in two player needs to at least focus on temple indirectly.
In the last game we played I tried focusing on converting corn into resources to build monuments. I was able to construct four buildings and three monuments (VP for corn tokens, VP for wood tokens, VP for number of workes). Despite the three monuments, I still lost by about 10 points to her temple/skulls efforts. However, when looking at it afterwards, we decided I probably would have won if I had stopped at two monuments and worked on the temple the last handful of rounds.
I don't know what it's like in a four player game but a bit of diversity seems to win the day in two player, at least in our experience.
