Practically speaking, that means that people and organisations running a Matrix server with open registration must verify the ages of users in countries which require it.
So if I just host my account on a home server on my raspberry pi, then I don’t have to age verify? I see. And I can still invite friends and family, I just can’t open up registration to the general public? I see.
Until the other penny drops and makes federation impossible: making it so users on other instances are treated as your users if they interact with your instance. If such a law was introduced I’d imagine they’d carve out an exemption for e-mail since that would cause utter chaos.
