I don't think filming time has anything to do with the length of time covered in the show. It took a year because it's the first season of a big budget 10 episode TV show.

The game has 4 segments set in different seasons of the year. The shooting schedule was spread out to match that. It’s definitely the whole thing.

Craig Mazin (show runner) has definitely confirmed that the first season is a full adaption of Part I. However, the shooting all year thing isn’t actually a great piece of evidence of that btw. Shows and movies commonly shoot in different seasons than what the scene calls for. You’d be surprised how well a good set crew can do to make any season plausible on-screen, no matter what really is happening outside.

Most of the info about the filming has shown a pretty close match to the timing in the game. And I’d be very surprised by a crew making a different season look right on screen since it would a major first. Apparently some early snow came while filming the Autumn stuff, so I’ll be curious to see how they handled that.
