It is uncanonical to have jurisdictions of the Church to share territories. Areas outside of traditionally Orthodox countries are a mess because multiple jurisdictions have a presence. The US should be under Moscow, since they are closest and first went there - and Moscow has recognised the OCA, so it would make sense that the OCA (terrible as I think it generally is) would be the only jurisdiction in the US.
Likewise, all of Rome's former territories fall to the next in line, the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
This needs to be sorted in an Ecumenical Council, but unfortunately so many are so fixated on their ethnicity or nation that they've let it corrupt their ecclesiology to the point that bishops uncanonically share territories.
I don't believe every place needs autocephaly or autonomy, especially when so young.
