Well assuming .xxx went through and the worst case scenario happened all adult sites had to use a .xxx domain. I think it would effect everyone just the same no matter where you were located.

Simply because they could make the billing processors bill only for sites using .xxx extensions. So by doing that an American law could effect the mass of all online adult.

Not that I think it would ever happen or stand up in a 1st amendment fight but you have to think about the worst case scenarios.

Just remember domain extensions or not, all the US govt has to do is put pressure on the credit card companies the same way they have done with online gambling and things could get real bad real quick for everyone no matter where you are located.
