Client devices learn the country code from the wireless network and generally aren't going to be region locked as they are expected to be mobile, unlike the infrastructure.
For example, I wonder if a European client can arrive at an American airport and connect to all of the WiFi6 channels based on the US standard.
Yes. That is fine.

This is country related, so if you operate the Wi-Fi on an US Airport it would be smart to support a SSID on a common Spectrum, like 2.4GHz Channels 1- 11, etc.
If you use the whole Spectrum in 6GHz, which is not allowed in several countries, those devices will not able to "see" the Wi-Fi, but they will connect to 2.4 or 5 GHz in that areas if that SSID is available in that Spectrum.
The Enduser Device (EU as an example) will stay in the origin Country Code and will not operate in the additional 700MHz 6GHz Channels.
Changing the country Code of the End Device is not something people usally do. And often this is not possible.

As shown in the attached image, in the case of WiFi 6GHz, the frequencies and channels that can be used are different depending on regulations in Europe and the US.
In a general environment, such as an airport where people from various countries visit, is it okay to open all of these frequency bands and use them?
For example, I wonder if a European client can arrive at an American airport and connect to all of the WiFi6 channels based on the US standard.
