Die young only gives creatures -1/-1 for every energy you spend. Dust exiles creatures with -1/-1 count on them. Die doesn't give counters, only temporary -x/-x.
Die Young doesn't alter the counters on any object, only the energy counters you have as a player. It creates a continuous effect of a standard duration that changes power and toughness. Dust can only target creatures with -1/-1 counters on them.

121.1. A counter is a marker placed on an object or player that modifies its characteristics and/or interacts with a rule, ability, or effect. Counters are not objects and have no characteristics. Notably, a counter is not a token, and a token is not a counter. Counters with the same name or description are interchangeable.
611.1. A continuous effect modifies characteristics of objects, modifies control of objects, or affects players or the rules of the game, for a fixed or indefinite period.
Die Young creates a continuous effect with a duration of "until end of turn". Dust's targeting restriction is "creatures that have -1/-1 counters on them". A continuous effect applying -1/-1 is not a -1/-1 counter.
Hope this helps!
