Your picture literally shows Gotham city is in New Jersey! Stop paying attention to the circle and actually read the map!That is literally a picture from the comics, and you are trying to argue with it. The internet is really something.
Yes, only in DCAU is Gotham a stand in for NYC. It's been in Jersey for over 60 years at this point in the comics and movies.That Metropolis=Chicago doesn't make sense to me because there's no way you asked how Superman is supposed to go to and from Smallville to Metropolis so quickly.
I believe (and most people do) Gotham is in New Jersey. The DCAU Gotham is probably in New York. (And some even believe Metropolis is in Delaware). If DC put out a map of the DC United States tomorrow I completely believe they would put Gotham in Jersey. And it isn't even in a real life state county. It's just called "Gotham County" (No Man's Land)
DC universe is literally two times bigger than our Earth, it resets every few years, has differing continuities, cities just pop up, cities never being mentioned in the past because they didn't exist yet, retcons, editorial mandates, and writers contradicting each other. That's not even mentioning how many differing opinions creators have about the DC universe. Trying to argue about this is completely pointless.

There's also "The Atlas of the DC Universe" people use as a resource.You must be registered to see the links
The very page you're quoting says that Gotham is only NYC in the DCAU and that both the comics and movies have made it clear that it's in New Jersey
