I'd actually argue that this is irrelevant.
The key here is that they're not threatening to commit a crime - the threat itself is the crime.
If a man on the internet says that he's gonna come to your house tonight and rape you, and then it turns out that he lives in Britain and you live in Canada, does that make getting the rape threat any less terrifying?
