You're not wrong but that's the German definition.
On the Wikipedia page of "Three Arrows" in the Section "Use outside Germany" at the end of paragraph 2 it says:
As to why they changed the definition my guess is the Austrian Social Democrats didn't want to oppose communism because the first republic was essentially a two (or at best times three) party system similar to the US before it drifted into Austro-Fascism and a civil war (foreshadowing for the US) and ultimately got annexed. And until today the SPÖ is more left than the SPD - or should I say their left wing is stronger.
