I think it is an exaggeration to suggest this will definitely happen if you travel.
I've got mfa setup on my account, work abroad semi-regularly and have never had any issues logging in to my google account.
- Macha 4y agoI moved house within a not particularly far distance and got locked out of one account with a demand for a phone number because the login is suspicious (which I don't trust Google not to use for ad targeting). This despite having the password and TOTP. Luckily I had a non-Google email account still connected via IMAP to reconfigure everything pointed at that account.
