I was looking at the FCOM and things are described a bit differently :

Actual Speed Reference Line (Yellow) :
This fixed reference line next to a yellow triangle, indicates the aircraft’s current speed.
So that yellow line stays in the middle and probably and hopefully the GREEN area with the target speed (GREEN triangle) remains visible at the top of the scale whatever the current stall speed/AoA is.

For the Red SLOW area :
This red area indicates the speeds that are lower than the stall speed.
Those checked on the 380 probably know more as the BUSS seems to be standard equipment.
