The details are preliminary but this seems to be different, they were about 165 miles from the Bronx. It is unlikely a 19 year-old Latino from NYC knew many people in the town of about 14,000 people less 4% of whom are Latino. And Marte had $6400 on him suggesting he'd already sold quite a bit of smack.
My guess is that Rowe is a user and scored from Marte when he was in NYC and then had the brilliant idea to bring the dealer up to sell to people he knew upstate.
Another aspect is that accoding to Google Maps the drive between the Bronx and Oneonata is slightly shorter and quicker through NJ which could make them eligible for federal charges.
There is also S.U.N.Y. Oneonta up there. A lot of students from downstate go to that school. A popular alternative name for it is "Stoneonta" (for good reason lol). Might explain the film and the demand for hardcore drugs.
Google maps doesn't take into account the hell on Earth known as the Cross Bronx Expressway (I95 to the GW Bridge). It's about 7 miles that will make you feel like Rumpelstiltskin by the time you get to the end of it. Then you're in Jersey.... ick lol.
The fastest way (avoiding traffic) upstate and towards Oneonta is I87 to the Tappan Zee then probably to Rt17 (The Quickway). That way takes you within a few miles of NJ but you never actually cross the border. If he used an EZ-Pass it would tell for sure, though.
