I was seen rubbing a chalk mark off my tire by a Wellington parking warden.
He informed me that it was illegal for me to do so and I could be fined $150.
Is this true?

No, its not illegal to rub the chalk marks off, there is no such offence and it was mischievous of the warden to suggest so. If you're told that again, note the parking warden's ID and complain to the Wellington City Council. For what its worth, the AA thinks its odd that councils are still relying on 19th century technology to monitor compliance with parking time restrictions - there are far better ways to do that, such as time-stamped digitial photos.

Does that mean I can legally remove other people's tire marks?

No, you should definitely not interfere with other people's property without their consent.
