It seems doubtful that the mangaka will ever be able to explore the ghouls of other nations, beyond the sort of "invading foreigner" cliche that is Aogiri Tree. In a sense, the mangaka's world is incomplete and underdeveloped, which is unfortanetly highlighted by his theme that the "world is broken." Yeah, mangaka, it's broken because that's how you made it!

Stated more clearly, our real world is not monolithic, thus we would not expect every nation to treat their ghouls exactly like japan has. At the very least, you can expect at least one nation for each of the following approaches:


 * Ghouls are given full equal rights and somehow coexist in peace


 * Ghouls openly coexist, but are second-class citizens, despite official bans on ghoul slavery


 * Ghouls are treated as slaves in an economy that strongly depends upon their slave labor


 * Ghouls are slaughtered by a dictatorship that doesn't mind killing regular humans in the process


 * Ghouls are in power and humans are the second-class citizens, slaves, and/or cattle

The problem is that one of those types of nations will be viewed (probably erroneously) as a "ghoul utopia" by foreign ghouls, and you would undoubetly see japanese ghouls trying to escape japan in order to move to such a "paradise." There would be some character who's goal is to emigrate to such a nation, and if the story followed them, they would probably make it to their "utopia," only to find it is actually a dystopia, and then they'll probably be ironically eaten by starving humans there.
