    Heh, maybe an Aussie made it?

That could be so! While Greenwich is the default center for maps, it is not uncommon to see maps that are centered around Asia or America if that's where the focus needs to be.

    In this map, are we looking at the same thing?

Not exactly, it's a map of how humans migrated from Africa to the rest of the globe. But the data is the same kind: both (semi-)linear progressions on a global scale, over the continents. The Dymaxion also keeps the surfaces intact, instead of having a large distortion at the poles and at Greenwich in the map in your post.
