Which country OneCode checks
Product and order discounts check the country your store is showing the customer, for example the one picked in your store's country selector. There's always a country, so these discounts can apply in the cart as well as at checkout.
Shipping discounts check the country of the shipping address. They only appear once checkout shows shipping rates, after the customer has entered an address.
The builder's note "Customer must choose shipping country in checkout before discounts are applied." is about shipping discounts. If customers often shop with the wrong country selected, a product or order discount can show in the cart for one country and change at checkout.
