Well sort of.... Every point directly beneath and across the flight path will experience a short duration “boom” as the aircraft passes overhead. So, yeah, it’s possible people in several counties could hear it as time and flight path went by. Just my $.02.

But you already knew that. ☺

What you posted is essentially correct. The BOOM is a cone spreading out behind the aircraft that is supersonic.
