This regulation does cover vehicles.
It also covers a wide range of devices, including ones that are indeed made by the EU.
Beyond that, I think "only regulate things you make" is a silly standard. The point of regulations are (or should be) to protect consumers, not to disadvantage companies. The EU has lots of consumers who buy smartphones and thus has a very legitimate reason to want to regulate them to protect their consumers.
