Surely you mean Shulchan Aruch, not Mishneh Brurah.

It's the exact sane rule; what possible reason would there be to
distinguish them? We don't need a source to do this, we'd need a source
*not* to.
As far as I know, in principle one also says "al michyosoh" when eating
mezonos grown in EY. However, since EY imports far more grain than it
produces, mezonos produced in EY is presumed to be made from imported
grain, so this is rarely a practical halacha. If, however, one happens
to know where the grain came from, one should say "al michyosoh".
