I've seen nutritional listings both ways. It is unfortunate if they don't specify because people will get the wrong answer.
This USDA site has a handy search feature. Type in "oatmeal" and get 91 different answers, cooked, dry, different brands, with and without milk, honey, etc. |

The OP said 'my dry portion of oatmeal is....' If you weigh that and take the carbs off the packet, you're done no matter how much water you add. As long as you eat it all
