So if you use the American app store to install TikTok, it works just fine, even for the falun dafa content? Interesting. I've heard that tiktok.com is actually blocked by the GFW, so even if you have the app, you still can't view content without a VPN, but I guess I can check for sure in a few months.
Obviously the USA doesn't have a GFW, so they can't actually block tiktok, just ban it from the app store and prevent business from resolving in the US around it (e.g. paying content creators).
