Dumb question: wouldn't the USA have the same issue with state taxes varying across the country? Or are state taxes collected from where the company is headquartered and not from where customers are purchasing from?

They do have same issue. Also companies outside of USA may have to pay many different local types of US sales tax.

Thats why every smaller company selling digital products uses merchant of record.
