I’ve never heard it used to mean anything other than taking time off work but staying home, with or without a day trip or two. Using it to mean staying in the country would be odd in an American context, as only a small percentage of American vacations in any given year involve leaving the country.

I've got one.
When did "staycation" change its meaning from "staying at home and having day trips" to "a regular holiday that happens to be in your own country"?
When newspaper editors realised they could make copy out of it that way.
Shows how little I know!
Having said that, it maybe only applies if you're in the habit of taking foreign holidays.
I think it’s the pre/post COVID thing for many.
We've never heard it used.
