Part 97 rules only apply to RF transmissions made from US territory on

Indeed. I don’t think any national regulation at all considers any IP address space
as “amateur radio”. Amateur radio is transmitted by radio and of course using ham
spectrum.
I think other national regulations are quite similar. At least in Spain/Europe it is legal
to use
encryption *only* for equipment control purposes. Originally it was intended for
repeater control, nowadays it should be possible to use ssh, for example, to
manage AREDN equipment.
