Looks like it just overflowed the reservoir.
If there's no way to get Toyota power steering fluid I would put some ATF in before I would let it run dry in the pump. But I think I'd prefer the proper power steering fluid. They're both just hydraulic fluids, I just don't know if there's anything seals or hoses or something that would require the use of one over the other. I use ATF in power steering systems on all my old junk. But I would put the right stuff in if it's available because the extra few dollars is worth the peace of mind not having to worry about it.
