This seriously simply "depends"; there are a ton of people discussing this issue in different locations on an r/apple thread on reddit called "Apple maps in iOS 6 is useless if you live in small countries/cities".
Some people, such as a few specifically living in New Zealand and Belgium, are reporting reasonably similar quality to Google Maps. However, many are not:
"I live in Oslo, the capital of Norway. The quality of the maps are so bad that I spent an hour or so just laughing."
"Here in The Netherlands the maps app isn't providing any useful information on landmarks, shops, hospitals.. etc. heck, even Amsterdam Central Station isn't mentioned."
"I live in Torshavn - The Faroe Islands." <- the guy who started the thread with this image -> http://i.imgur.com/7ZI66.jpg
