Yes, that's what I'm saying. The Rosenthal Act is focused on the conduct of debt collectors and contains no geographic limitations. It would apply to an out-of-state collector seeking to collect from an in-state consumer or to an in-state collector seeking to recover from a non-resident consumer. The only thing it wouldn't apply to would be an out-of-state collector seeking to collect from a non-resident consumer.
If that's the case, then IMO (which I know you don't care about) this is another fine example of California overreach. One of the reasons I chose never to move to that state when I had several offers over the years to do so. The politics of that state certainly do not align with mine.
