I've never seen or heard Montana called Midwest. It's more Rockies or Northwest. Eastern half could be considered Great Plains-ish.
I can say for sure none of it's very Northwestern; even eastern Washington is more like Idaho than the coast.
Rockies is fair, for the part that they actually run through, which seems to be more like a third of the area and inevitably less populated. I guess that's the part they like to advertise, though, and clearly it has worked.
