Bayern tickets (or other Laender tickets) do. But there are also regional tickets that are train only, e.g., the Werdenfels ticket (Munich-Garmisch) or the Franken-Thueringen ticket and some others.

Actually, although the Bayern-Ticket covers all S- and U-bahn, trams, and buses in the metro transit districts (Verkehrsverbünde), like Munich MVV, and most bus lines in Bavaria (like RVO), there are a few individual bus routes that are not included.

Although the long-distance trains ARE faster, the don't go to every town. Most stations have only regional service. There are only a few, main lines with ICE/IC/EC service. Some towns might have only one or two such trains per hour (Bamberg has four - two each direction) and often you'll still have to make at least one change of trains to get to your destination. Currently there are only four ICEs a week through Garmisch-Partenkirchen - three on Saturday, one on Sunday, none during the week.
