Are subrealms included in the RNG selection for when a realm is randomly chosen?

By "subrealm" I mean like how both Fractured Cowshed and Rotten Fields are part of Coldwind Farm, not sure if that's actually what they're called.

I've seen people say numerous times that "x map is only 1 out of 34(35?) maps" but is that really the case?

Doesn't this come down to how the RNG system decides on maps?

For example, if the game selects based on major realm first --let's use Macmillan, Autohaven and Coldwind as examples of "all" the maps to keep things simple-- then we end up in a scenario using these 3 realms where depending on selection, it could be choosing:

  1. Autohaven
  2. Macmillan
  3. Coldwind

And then after the realm is selected, a subrealm is randomly selected.

Alternatively, if subrealms are included with the first roll, the choice then becomes:

  1. Coal Tower
  2. Groaning Storehouse
  3. Ironworks of Misery
  4. Shelter Woods
  5. Suffocation Pit
  6. Azarov's Resting Place
  7. Blood Lodge
  8. Gas Heaven
  9. Wreckers' Yard
  10. Wretched Shop
  11. Fractured Cowshed
  12. Rancid Abattoir
  13. Rotten Fields
  14. The Thompson House
  15. Torment Creek

As you can see, the odds change dramatically depending on how the system rolls for realm.

While either way does still mean you're dealing with randomness, one method means you've got a 1/15 chance to go to a map like Haddonfield rather than over double the odds to do so.

I ask because the use of map offerings seems to imply the first method, where realm is chosen first and then subrealm randomly selected afterward, so it seems like a pertinent question.

This is all assuming there isn't a system in place that makes certain realms more likely to spawn depending on the day (separate from new maps that have their additional spawns more likely revealed in patch notes) which would of course complicate the issue.
