Yes, the scale is based on Earth. I assumed the line through the middle of Pandyssia to be the Equator and that Dunwall sits at a latitude similar to London. The map's width would be about the size of a whole East/West Hemipshere on Earth. If I put Dunwall further south, the size of the isles would dramatically shrink and they are already small enough as it is.

Who knows, maybe Pandyssia acts as a wind barrier, redirecting the warm winds from the tropics to Serkonos? We have something similar with the Atlantic. Or maybe I'm talking nonsense. I don't know that much about air movement on Earth.

Perhaps Dishonored 2 will provide a new, more acurate map.
