No, there's no weighting, only rounds of votes where the lowest choice is eliminated and votes for it get redistributed to their next preference.
Here's one explanation I found online (it's a very common voting system): http://instantrunoff.com/instant-runoff-home/the-basics/
Your example is just a tie on the first round, and would randomly select dust 2 or Office.

I couldn’t gain any insight about how exactly the map vote works from its source—I’m no programmer myself and code sadly doesn’t tell me much.
Thus, I have a very basic question about it: Is the map vote weighted? I.e. does it matter if a map is voted for first, second, or third? An example: If only two people vote for three maps each and let’s say the votes are as follows: Player A: 1st Dust 2; 2nd Vertigo; 3rd Cobblestone Player B: 1st Office; 2nd Agency; 3rd Cobblestone
Which map would win this voting? Cobblestone, because it was voted for by both players, or would it be a dice-throw between Dust 2 and Office, because both of them were first-picks?
