Yes, exactly.

State law is highly unlikely to discriminate between a domestic and international flight. But the practical impact is different, since no tax is paid on the alcohol in the trolleys for international flights - so this alcohol can only be served once in the air. Whilst on domestic flights tax is paid so there are no tax-related restrictions on serving whilst on the ground.
