I still don't have a player card in my new account, but I had in my old account which I stopped using for some reasons. When I last played with my old account, I used VPN. On the player card, it showed I was playing the game from Netherlands, Australia and Singapore. None of those locations was my actual country where I was playing from. The game showed like that because I was using Netherlands, Australia and Singapore VPN servers. So, I guess the game just used the IP address and not GPS. Hence, I think it's no big deal as long as you use VPN. If you don't want to let anyone to know your location, I suggest you to use a VPN.
About "played since" thing, what it showed was true. That old account of mine was created in 2023 and it showed "played since 2023", so, it's true.
