No, it does not. I have the Great Wall set for Every City, not just on the continent, and it works as soon as I build a new city on another continent or island before getting in a Harbor to establish a trade network. That works the same for all Wonders. As I play a lot on island and continent maps, I have changed the settings for most of the Wonders.
Delphi456, I don't know where you are in the tech tree, but you could also consider giving the civ w/ the GW gunpowder Metallurgy (assuming you have it, obviously). The AI doesn't make very good use of cannons and it will make the GW obsolete.
Edited: Because Overseer's right. It's Metallurgy that obsoletes the GW.

I believe it is Metallurgy that obsoletes the Great Wall, but yes, trading them that tech negates the GW. The other way to get rid of the GW is bombard it, causing the great wall destruction bug. The first time I saw that bug, I had to pick my jaw up, I was so shocked.
Can you point to a thread detailing this bug?
Neither of these threads is exactly what I was looking for, but these are what a search for "Great Wall" turned up in the Bug Reports subforum:

Took a screenshot on that one, if I can dig it up. Ah, here we go: I think it was the great wall the previous shot, but this can happen at times, and it really ticked me off, I usually keep the pyramids.
