You can be fined if there is international or bilateral law or if somehow else the fine can be domesticated. There is no international regulation (not even consensus) on privacy so the law is not directly enforced here. However you are also not required to apply another country's law to all your customers, and if you don't want to you should (but are not really enforced to) block the EU.

Considering that most online businesses are (effectively) a form of international trade, I wonder whether GDPR fines could be seen as a form of customs fine (which definitely is something that foreign companies can be forced to pay, as you've said).
