I'd say the diplomacy bonus for fame should always work with your own faction head, in every faction. After all, you've earned a reputation as someone they can trust to get stuff done, so they're more likely to listen to what you have to say.

I would say yes to Grand Master Torch and no to the reblious Shadow Lodge members. As the Shadow Lodge faction was created after year two ended that makes the most sence to me. Besides, the rebilious Shadow Lodge members never worked for the Pathfinder Society they were against them so they would never be part of one of the factions and the bonus only apllies to members of your faction.

Not everybody has played Season 2 scenarios...

GMT was not always the head of a PFS faction, though. So, the OP was asking if the bonus works on GMT in earlier mods.

I don't know enough lore to answer.
