How this works is via trade deals.
If you're a foreign company selling to EU citizens you can be subjected to EU fines because there's usually a trade deal that says so.
But yes, checking the nationality of all your customers isn't feasible, but I bet the waters get murky when requests, such as data access or deletion requests, come after the fact, with proof of EU citizenship.

As for trade deals, the Safe Harbor agreement that would have allowed this was repealed before (and partly because of) GDPR. The only deal in place now is Privacy Shield which is completely voluntary and has no cross-border enforcement.
