In most cases, it is at least partially tied to how much value someone can extract from you, which really has to do with how much value they bring in the market.
It's less about the 'value I create' and more about the 'value company X is able to create using my skills'. And... in some measure, you're going to be tied to how good the company itself is. I could give the same deliverable to two companies, and one may be able to make 20x more than the other, owing to other factors like network, sales, marketing, image, etc. In that case, they could probably pay me more as well, because they're earning more, but that then gets in to business vision and politics - do they see the software/tech as a cost-center or a profit-center?

Agree with this. Some in south India make 100K USD for the job that would make 140 to 180K in USA. But not everyone though and like other post mentioned it is about the companies perception of your value and most of the Fortune 500 companies have some base setup for each title irrespective of where you live.
What this really tells me is that workers in Omaha and Phuket ought to demand more, and that they are selling themselves for far less than the value they create, or else that they aren't actually doing "the same job." Likely both are true.
