No, this is a piece of trade regulation, so fines (and this is the proposed 'punishment') could only be enforced in the UK. They can and will block your site, of course, and perhaps do stuff like strongarming Google into delisting you, but only webmasters operating in the UK could be subject to legal action.
Given that the UK government still doesn't seem to have a clue about the details of the proposed age verification requirements, I can't see them fining anyone for a while anyway. Also, they will apparently send out 'enforcement notices/warnings' first, to which you will have a certain period of time to comply with, so unless you are given one of these through the post (not very likely outside of the UK) I'd feel safe travelling there.
