App workspaces vs MS Team workspace
Hi WK,
Based on my research, the App Workspace(not the new one) is related to the Office 365 group. As the creator or admin of an app workspace in Power BI or in Office 365, you could manage some aspects of the workspace in Power BI. Other aspects you manage in Office 365.

As the new App Workspace, all the workspace administration is in Power BI, not in Office 365. You can still add an Office 365 group to the workspace to continue managing user access to content through Office 365 groups.

Hope it could help you.

Power BI App is an interface that allows you to List/Organize finalized reports you would like your users to run, it also allows you to include Paginated Reports (+SSRS) and other documents like PowerPoint, web links and Videos, The final interface will look cleaner and it's safer, as all users will have read-only rights.
The dashboard was meant for consolidating Power BI graphical dashboards Tiles in one report, which can come handy to display summaries from multiple dashboards.
It does not handle Paginated Reports. So 2 different uses...
This option is may be coming to the Power BI solution, I've seen efforts from MS to integrate the two types of reports dashboards and Paginated Reports...
Teams and SharePoint workspaces are groups, they should not show up in the new version (at least for me) and I think there is a Tennant option for Administrators to turn this On/Off...
If you look in the Admin Console, and search for Workspaces, you can distinguish between both... that list can be exported to Excel so you can see the whole company list of workspaces/groups.

Workspaces vs PowerBI App...
My Power BI Analogy : think of it as when you visit a restaurant...
Workspace = Kitchen Area (messy, not pretty, very loud... where developers work)
Power BI App = Restaurant Sitting Area (Pretty, safe, good music, better experience to consume the final product)
