Are they internationally recognized as the same cuts? Would a steak in Ireland look any different than a steak in Iowa? When did this happen???

Cuts differ to some extent from region to region, but the general ones like sirloin, tenderloin, shank, rib, chuck, etc. are pretty much universal. Some regions may go more granular with names for specific areas within cuts and all that, but sirloin is always sirloin, y’know.
As for how this came to be, it’s just how things have evolved based on availability of meat, socioeconomical factors, cuisine, etc.. As such, it’s difficult to give a clear and concise answer on when different cuts were “invented.” One could surmise it ostensibly goes back to when proto-humans began cooking their meat where it all began.
