Does the Great Beyond cosmology for Golarion (and seemingly the surrounding planets) impose itself over the rest of the universe Golarion sits in, or does it only apply to a certain area?

Like for example, do ALL of the universe's mortal souls (barring any mishaps) go through the Boneyard and get judged by Pharasma, or is she limited in "jurisdiction" to certain parts/galaxies/solar systems?

Common cosmology yes. Pharasma judges all souls.

Of course there are suggestions that the infinite depths of the Maelstrom touch upon other realities altogether (with the other planes of the Great Beyond being just one local island of stability, one bubble of foam, one shallow point in the Cerulean Void).

Also, I'm pretty sure there's something else if you can get to the other side of the Abyss.

There's that allusion as well - that what we know of as the Abyss is potentially just a tangent zone to another reality that's even worse than the Abyss. The Abyss and the Maelstrom are both the only truly infinite of the Outer Sphere planes.
