Yes it does. I bought a Chinese version, waited for 15 days to unlock bootloader, then installed EU rom. You can choose to install official global but EU Global is an slightly improved version of the Global. Either one works fine.
I had no problem flashing the ROM. Just make sure you follow all the steps as explained.

Xiaomi EU is based in MIUI chinese version and comes with ARB disabled. It's not recommended to flash a global ROM in the chinese version because it could brick the device.
Hello,
I just got a Redmi Note 7 Chinese variant but I live in India and the Chinese MIUI isn't that great. I want to change it to the global ROM. I have the fastboot ROM downloaded and even the recovery ROM. I'm hoping that someone has already addressed the issue but I'm posting this because I'm not able to find any. My phone is currently running MIUI China 10.2.13 and it has received the 10.3.4 update. I haven't updated it since it might increment the arb index. Can anyone give me a confirmed, safe and working method to change my software from China to Global? I understand the risks of bootloader unlocking and all.
Hi guys.
I am new in Xiaomi devices and a little confuse about region firmware, lock and unlock bootloader in Xiaomi phones.
My Mi 9T firmware is latest russian firmware (QFJRUXM) and bootloader locked now (I do unlock bootloader before, but re-locked and back to official FW)
Can i unlock bootloader again, install global firmware with MiFlash Tool, then re-lock bootloader?
I hear only relock after switch from china to global or reverse can break device. Is this true?
I'm planning on buying Oneplus 8 Pro from China, then convert it into Global Rom. Does anyone know if flashing global rom will allow the device to receieve auto updates on the OS? Also will I be able to relock the bootloader after flashing the global rom?
Has anyone tried this? Thank you!
Yes you will receive updates. I've got the Chinese version and the seller flashed with official global rom.

1. lock bootloader
2. and install fastboot EU rom v12.0.7

No, you can't, because the locked bootloader will detect which ROM is installed, so if a different ROM is installed with locked bootloader, it will only boot into the recovery and show "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" error, then you will need to unlock the bootloader again.
Edit: According to @Eam31961, you can relock the bootloader with a different region of ROM installed on M3. I have also tried it, it works.

To use it with unlocked bootloader, you can install Magisk, and make sure to use Magisk hide, and also hide the Magisk manager with a random pacakge name in Magisk's settings.

For me is different from your experience may be. My POCO M3 default ROM was JFEUXM which means EU Global Version then I switched to JFIDXM for Indonesian ROM with features of AutoCall Recording and Mi Message and bootloader reLocked and now it's Locked. With no problem.

Maybe POCO M3 is different, I didn't test a different region ROM on it.
Thank you for letting me know.
I got the error when I tried to install Indian ROM on my China version of Redmi 6 Pro.

Okay, bro, I got you. I read from another forum that accordingly, China ROM can't be re-lock to other Region ROM but you can revert back to China ROM and re-lock it.
I have now installed the Taiwan ROM (QJFTWXM) on my M3 which came with a global ROM (QJFMIXM), yes it works, I chose the option clean all and lock.
Now with the Taiwan ROM, I have MIUI dialer and message apps, call recording also works, and it does not have any issues.
Thank you @Eam31961 !
