As George has stated the times are the same because you "Answer" the call before dialing. This is correct behavior according to the documentation you posted (same [here|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_Dial] and more [here|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Dial+Channel+Variables]). I agree with George in that if this was not the behavior in Asterisk 11 then that was probably due to a bug, which may have been inadvertently fixed since then.

That being said it sounds like you are wanting to play back audio before the dial. If you use the "[Progress|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_Progress]" application instead of "Answer" this should allow you to do that as well as reflect the proper dial and answer times. For instance:
{noformat}
exten => 102,1,NoOp()
	same => n,Progress()
	same => n,Playback(demo-congrats,noanswer)
	same => n,Dial(PJSIP/102,10)
	same => n,Hangup()
{noformat}
