Hi J?rg, To answer your question, these numbers exclude .com entirely, this is just counting unique IP addresses on the .org sites and does not take account of SWAN vlan setups (and specifically, as Roman says, proxy servers - so I show up as UK even though I'm in Sweden, but as I'm British anyway, it all sort of works out in my case).
