Usually not caring about distance seems to go with any being the English word 'god' would normally be associated with, but you can think of possible exceptions - a D&D 'god' that had been banished to a pocket universe by another 'god' might genuinely not be able to hear you unless you went to a particular altar and cast a spell.
Some of that's a different modifier. Highly Accessible covers their ability to hear you from anywhere (presumably in some useful manner). Maybe the ability to do something about it in the sort of direct and immediate manner of sea-parting, frog-dropping deities rather than having to ring the mayor is covered by Special Abilities, however.
