An in dash unit without internet access would not be using Google Maps. But you are correct, road closure reports can come from the local municipality. It can also come from users reporting it.
Unfortunately it way easier to report a road closed than to report that it's no longer closed. They should be able to see that cars are using the "closed" road and remove the closure but they don't and roads stay "closed" on the map for long periods of time.
