Are the codes 6 digit? Do they actually show a map? I just set this up, and logged into icloud.com from a fresh Chrome session (having set it up on Firefox and not wanting to futz with sessions there), and I've only had to use 4 digit codes, and no such map. But I've only tried authenticating on websites (I don't have other Apple devices to test with).
Also, I did have to add at least my iPhone manually at first.
It seems like you might have it backwards?
EDIT: My bad. I tried to set up 2FA, by following the "Manage your Account" link from the 2FA info page, but actually set up the old 2SV, with no 2FA options in sight... This is a grungier experience than I would (naively) expect from Apple, as a new Apple customer. Turns out you must set this up on a device, not through the website! They detail this halfway down the page in the "turn on" instructions.
