If homemade documents can be used to re-enter 'these united States' can they be used to enter other countries as well?

The Hague Convention is UN charter law. Combinatorial math between participating member states. So if you are going into that domain - you want a WSA Passport.
You may have noted Shoonra's, Bernard J. SUSSMAN's jab about
(real) passports. The WSA Passport provides passage in many states and one can contact consulates for your visa ahead of time, and that does not obligate you to actually make a trip to that country. However, a customs officer seeing that a lot of other countries have honored your request for passage goes a long way.
When dealing with reality of passports, UN charter holds quite a bit of weight. There is virtually nobody living in international airports except maybe Tom Hanks and according to the movie he went back home. When somebody is not declaring an embassy, they are usually allowed to get back home at least.
