Are GaN2 and 3 more exotic, r are they just newer iterations of GaN?

Those appear to marketing names applied to DC Chargers. I suspect that the GaN2&3 refer to higher frequency operation. This may be due to lower parasitic capacitances, and would allow smaller components/inductors to be used at comparable efficiencies and lower cost. Certainly, the wafers and materials seem to be the same.
