No. That doesn’t exclude other countries - it means you are not illegally living in the US (“non-resident alien”). They are just complying with US sanctions/international law.

So what if you're temporarily in the US on a tourist (B1/B2) visa? Or on NAFTA status? Or as a non-resident using H1-B (which is dual intent)?

Non-resident alien doesn't mean illegal immigrant at all. As the name implies, it means you're a non-citizen who is also not residing in the US.
