If you like to get a little inside on how adserving and targeting works I can put this in a new thread.

I'm working since 15 years with adserving technologie and know what they can and what they don't do.

In a nutshell your theory is not fully right, the ads we see might be targeted but that is a decisson of the advertiser and the options the adserver offers if they come into play they way you described it.

More likely the advertisers have higher preference in some countries so there is more invbentorry for users like us to see. In countries with less ads to serve there will be a lower number to share.

Profiling and Audiene segmenting will work only if the segment sizes are big enough / have enough reach, have enough recency and frequency and are solid enough to be used.

Would be interesting to sniff the data exchanged between our devices and the monkey server if segmenting is possible. ;-)
