Retention Policy for OneDrive location
It should. But to be on the safe side, lets ask TonyRedmond :)
Retention policy or classification label?
In any case, although you can apply a default label to a SharePoint document library that will be inherited by sub-folders, I don't think you can do it to a user's OneDrive site. https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/Overview-of-labels-af398293-c69d-465e-a249-d74561552d30
I believe the question is whether a "global" ODFB policy will apply to newly-created users, Dan can correct me if I misunderstood.
Sorry, you're right.
However, to make sure that everyone is clear, when a retention policy (or rather, a label policy containing classification labels that include retention actions) is published to OneDrive and the selection is made to publish to all sites, then new sites will get that policy. But that does not mean that labels are applied to content. It is entirely up to the user/owner to apply labels... I just want to be sure that everyone understands that no automatic application of labels happens. If you want automatic application, you need to use an auto-label policy (an E5 feature).
