With respect to that map though it doesn't matter because someone learning German for traveling to Germany and someone learning German for traveling to Austria will learn the same language, so it doesn't make sense to color it differently.
The dialect is something you acquire while being embedded in the region after you already know German

It totally does, because the "vanilla" German you learn back home in the US will be less useful to you in Austria due to the difficult dialects, than it will be in Germany where you'll have an easier time.
