GDPR is a regulation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_(European_Union) ), which means that it applies directly. The ruling also refers to various sections of GDPR directly. There is no local legislative implementation of regulations; you are thinking of directives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union) ), of which GDPR is not one.

Okay. Is there anything rational about what this judge in Vienna did?

The judge originally even didn’t want to rule on the case. It looks very much they wanted the case to go to a different court and have nothing to do with it.
