While they did play as West Germany, there weren't any East German players in the team until later in the year, and reunifation wasn't technically completed until October, the reality it was already well underway, during the tournament many legal and economic unification policies came into effect, such as the East Germans using the Deutchmark.
As such the country as a whole supported the West German team, the east as well as the west.
