So, the only reason to have a DVORAK keyboard is for faster typing speeds? And how is that managable? The most commonly used letters are placed in quicker areas?

Correct. Before the days of the computer, when typewriters were used, secrataries would occasionally type too quickly and cause the typewriter to jam. Typewriter manufacturers attempted to solve this problem with the QWERTY layout, which is deliberatly inefficient. Now that we no longer have to worry about mechanical arms jamming, a more efficient keyboard layout was designed: DVORAK. For most of us, though, the increased typing speed isn't worth the time and effort of completely re-learning how to type.
