Yes, in practice. GDPR applies any time that EU/EEA residents' personal data is processes. If the company doesn't operate in the EU/EEA directly it's likely you are going to have a hard time getting this data, and more likely to not be given this data at all. It's up to you as a resident to formalize a complaint through your regional DPA (Data Protection Authority) in those cases.
