I dont think real counter fake/imitations exist. I think those parts from Taiwan are either OEM take off, minor defective factory parts or parts sold by som,eone working at the factory, but im always warry and not quite confident buying expensive parts on ebay when they are located in Taiwan, China or other country as such.
I wouldn't worry about brakes- it's not that simple to make counterfeit. I read some time ago people were wondering about cheaper Magura Durin forks from Taiwan but I got one of these for myself. Didn't notice anything suspicious and it worked like charm
But I would definitely stay away from seatposts, handlebars and stems on ebay, especially if you can find exact brand and model dirt cheap @ alibaba.com

If it isn't cheap enough for you to not care about warranty don't buy it. You are usually getting a legit product through grey market channels (left out the back of the factory, diverted before hitting a distributor, etc.). You aren't likely to have problems but also aren't likely to be able to warranty if you do (and shouldn't feel entitled to).
