No.
This means that embedding any resource from a non-GDPR destination URL is a violation of GDPR law unless explicit opt-in approval from the user is first received.
If you are subject to GDPR law, then the above applies to all sites owned and operated by you and your subsidiaries. If you are not subject to GDPR law, then the above does not apply.
Resources could be hosted by http:, https:, ftp:, or any other protocol. Resources could be .js, .gif, .html, or any other format.
If you’re asking “can I dynamically detect the user’s country of origin and enable GDPR protections only if I determine they’re in that country?”, no: the user has a right to legal protection if they are a citizen of a GDPR-protected country and are residing in a GDPR-bound country, regardless of what their IP address is.
(I am not your lawyer, this is not legal advice.)
