Does the DIA vs VUAA overlap apply to other tickers?

Yes. VUAA also trades as VUAG (London, GBP), and VUSA (ISIN IE00B3XXRP09) is its distributing share class. Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so DIA vs VUAG also overlaps 29%.

How is ETF overlap calculated here?

For every company held by both funds we take the smaller of its two weights and add them up. The weights come from the full holdings files SPDR and Vanguard publish, not a top-10 sample, and companies are matched by their ISIN so share classes stay apart. Sector overlap applies the same rule to the issuers' sector labels; "behaves like N equally weighted stocks" is one over the sum of the squared weights.
