Thank you Strainu and Bartosz, this was very useful.
As far as I can tell, idwiki editors simply don't use the GeoData geotagging conventions. Instead, people specify article location as infobox latd/longd properties, which on enwiki (and likely others) is being deprecated in favour of GeoData tags. While this older method allows a map to be displayed on the page, the coordinates are not imported by the GeoData extension, and as a result none of these geotagged pages show up in API geo lookups, or in the data dumps.
I think you're confusing the coord template with the #coordinates: parser function - unintuitively, they're both in brackets. The first is a generic way of displaying some coordinates. It can be built by code from individual parameters, like on id.wp, or it can be passed already built, like on en.wp. What it does inside varies, and some wikis, in addition to displaying the coordinates, also call the parser function.
The parser function, on the other hand, simply saves the data in the database, without displaying anything. It is almost always called from templates or modules and very rarely directly from pages. Adding it to Template:coord (or Module:Coordinates, for most wikis nowadays) makes the coordinates magically appear in the database in some time. For instance, these are the changes I made to use the parser function on ro.wp: https://ro.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Modul%3ACoordonate&type=revis...

I'm now pondering if there's a quick way to asses for which wikis this is the case... I may report back if I find a simple approach, beyond simply manually checking every wiki.
Thanks again!
