I haven't gone through setting it up (yet) but I imagine there should be differences between EU and US versions of the apps. Is that something you expect to and if so, are you recording that info in your survey? Or am I just naive here?

The difference should be only at the consent level, eg you might see less or more “Accept All” buttons with different design or different ToS linked. I don’t believe there’s a real difference on the code or even SDK level based on geo.

Doesn't California have partially stricter laws than the EU?
