If you go the route of automatically moving the focus to the dialog
when it is displayed, it should have a role of dialog.
If you, instead, decide to let the user know something is now visible
on the page without moving the focus, I would recommend role="region"
over rol="dialog".
A region is an ARIA landmark and can easily be discovered. And if you
display non-modular content on the page it isn't really a dialog,
especially when you don't move focus to it.
But, honestly, either is fine, we are getting into awfully hair
splitting territory here. ;)
