Answer 1

You know how there are some differences between American English: and British English, such as: cookie = biscuit, sidewalk = pavement, diaper = nappie.. It's like that with lexical differences in Latin American countries. It's not a big problem, just something to be aware of.

Answer 2

Yes, your dictionary is right.

One way it's often location-dependent is in the use of offensive language. Sometimes you learn an innocent word used in one country, that's highly offensive in another.

Answer 3

Some of the better dictionaries list the different meanings in certain countries and mark them as such.
