Kiosk Demo Levels
It seems likely that the full retail game with all levels is on this cartridge. The way the Blockbuster kiosks worked is by (possibly copying and) running your save file from your personal Pokemon Snap cartridge. It would run this save file on the rom of the kiosk demo cartridge, because that's necessary for the Gallery(Print) option to appear. It's unlikely this was ever noticed in practice, because for the demo screen to pop up the player would have to complete the Tunnel with their personal cartridge inserted.

Also see this high resolution photo of the Pokemon Snap Station. It's seen here playing Pokemon Stadium instead of the Pokemon Snap demo cartridge, I personally believe it was swapped out by a previous owner. Specifically notice the cartridge slot on the front of the machine. https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/av5ypz/a_pok%C3%A9mon_snap_station_these_were_in_every/
As for whether this is pre-final compared to the USA rom, I don't know.
