If so, now what am I looking for?
Yes, although some cheat code pages use a long number to make the identification (I think code twink itself does it). there is a small utility called ps2vers that extract and supply that information, but I have not seen it for a long time now. I'm not sure why but I believe was found that SLUS... system is not enough to grant certainty for subtle differences between game's versions.
the above information should help identifying the region, since it is SLUS it means the game is NTSC and meant for the USA market.
PS: on the other hand, the CRC may accuse differences even where the addresses are the same and then the cheat codes are still valid, so it's not used for identification in this case.
PPS: Although there is chance of the game's version be slight different, it is rare that codes for certain region to go wrong... the advice is to carefully verify if the cheat worked as expected "before" making any sstate of the game, to prevent persistent memory corruption which would persist even after the code is removed and saved on that sstate.
