Thanks for referring to the documentation.  It already explains this in
(info "(elisp) Defining Minor Modes")

 -- Macro: define-globalized-minor-mode global-mode mode turn-on
          keyword-args... body...
...
     Globally enabling the mode also affects buffers subsequently
     created by visiting files, and buffers that use a major mode other
     than Fundamental mode; but it does not detect the creation of a new
     buffer in Fundamental mode.
