No. The geo tags refer to the content - if the page describes a lake, the
tags give the location of the lake. Where the document is hosted or cached
does not affect this.

In draft-daviel-http*, which describes using an HTTP header to append
location data to an HTTP request, there are cache implications if the
page served is chosen using this location. This page would typically
be a search engine URL e.g. http://gsearch.org/query?word=pizza
and need not have HTML meta tags at all.
