Once purchased, the Bayernticket gives unlimited travel on all local and regional trains within Bavaria (and often to the first station across a state/national border) for the rest of that day (after 0900 on work days).
I live in the Bodensee (Lake Constance) region and often use the Bayernticket to travel to Munich and back.

Ok, went and bought a Munich Airport-Munich OST-Salzburg HbF ticket for €25.
Easy enough.
Registered on the site so I can access things and printed a couple of copies off.
Then installed the DB Navigator app. Pain getting that to work as it's case sensitive with regards to my surname but got a barcode / QR code on the screen for scanning.
Hopefully there will be no issues.
Added:
Zero problems.
Bought a €25 second class ticket from the Munich Airport to Salzburg online, printed it out and added it to the app.
Plane landed and was on the S Bahn platform in 7 minutes and that wasn't rushing.
Caught the 10:24am S8 train to Munich OST that arrived at platform 1 and then through the underpass to platform 8 with a 15 minute wait.
Train arrived and left on time.
No buffet car that I could see on the Meridian train so bring food and drink if you want something. Toilets seemed to be either end of the train in a big box in the middle of the carriage.
Mobile app barcode scanned by the ticket inspector shortly after leaving and a quick glance at my passport.
Right hand side of the direction of travel has the mountain views although blocked from time to time by fencing etc.
