Yes, you are correct. Despite being able to claim a Standard Deduction on your Federal return (due to the US-India treaty), you are not allowed claim the Wisconsin Standard Deduction on your Wisconsin state return.
As you read in Publication 122, Wisconsin law does not recognize federal treaty provisions for the purpose of the standard deduction. Wisconsin’s tax code (Section 71.05(22)(b)) explicitly states that "if you are a Nonresident Alien at any time during the year, your Wisconsin standard deduction is $0".
