Woah, that would mean e-Residency in Estonia would be enough for GDPR protections, right?

Note that becoming one involves going to your embassy in person.

No. It only covers residents ("data subjects") who are inside the EU or dealing with companies in the EU. People who aren't in the EU (including EU citizens currently in foreign countries) and are dealing with companies outside the EU aren't covered.
