What is the difference between oins, zwoi, drei vs. eins zwei, drei?
An example of this is when counting down for a race or in the song Ein Prosit.

This is standard German:
eins, zwei, drei
But this is a dialect:
oins, zwoi, drei
German has lots of dialects. I live in Austria, and there every valley in the Alps has its own distinct dialect.
I have no idea from which region this dialect is, because I never have heard »zwoi« as a version of »zwei«.
There is an article about German dialects in English Wikipedia. But in German Wikipedia you find much more detailed information about German dialects.
