No it does not. It covers data in the EU. Being from the EU but using for example a US service while you are in the US means you are not covered. EU law doesn't cover people not inside the EUs borders.

With one exception, when your business targets EU markets, EU citizens abroad are still covered.

For example, when you are a EU citizen using a US social network that operates world wide (and thus also targets EU markets), you are still covered when in the US.

Where is that defined? The word "citizen" doesn't even appear in the law.
