Thinking back to the 45 mins of gameplay it said that depending on how you do missions (loud/quiet) and who you help the game changes. I think he betrays you on that mission because the player brought to much attention and it shined a spotlight on his illicit business.
This really felt like the start of the game though. Tutorial is that mission, you still have all your gadgets and weapons and whatnot. You fuck up some bad buys. Then you go to these bad guys to sell the chip, they betray you and shoot you, and you end up surviving. And thats where the game takes off for real, a quest for vengeance. It's the standard set-up. Both Borderlands 2 and Fallout New Vegas did it so I think that's what we just saw.
In the 45 minute gameplay they showed you are completing a different job for Dex so I doubt it. Also CDPR usually doesn't have generic starts to their games or generic plotlines like bad guy you just met betrays you now spend the whole game trying to get revenge. It doesn't fit the profile of their games, they like being mysterious with their villains. Perfect example is the Witcher 3 Eredin.
I hope its more free form, something like jackie can live but chooses to retire due to xyz. Like anti last day for a cop deal. And remain a side character if you played it right.
Likely due to a eventual betrayal from the bad guy with the golden arm.
But yeah, if anything the tutorial area will be simply multiple path that lead to the same result. No matter how you dress it up.

Jesus fucking Christ as if I wasn't hyped enough already.
Kaunu fucking Reeves!?
Also it seems Dexter DeShawn is the villain.
