The way laws usually work is (gross oversimplification):-
Different state, same country - they have to follow this rule when dealing with customers from California.
Different country - they can break the law, but then California / US can sanction them (i.e. no US-based company can directly do business with them)
There are workarounds to both but 99% of companies will just comply, at least on paper.
