I agree with you. SKT operates both 5G-only SA mode and 4G+5G NSA mode. So, as you mentioned, if the AT&T M7 doesn’t support SA, it could appear as if it’s not connecting to 5G at all.
However, if it were actually connecting in 5G NSA mode but displaying as 4G, the download speed should be somewhat decent. On a smartphone in NSA mode, the download speed is around 100–200 Mbps, and in 5G priority mode, it reaches 1 Gbps. But on the M7 Pro, it only gets around 20 Mbps at the same spot. TT

For NSA not working in S Korea, that is because ATT M7 doesn't support the following LTE bands: 1, 3, 5, 7.
For your case, it may be better to get Telstra MR7500 for using in your country. Or you have to wait for next MR with 5G SA enabled.
