Does this vary from place to place?

It varies by language since the meaning of fruit and vegetable are language specific but that's universal for English. A fruit is an edible portion of a plant that contains seeds and a vegetable is an edible portion of a plant, so... all fruits are vegetables.

Ok but like, why draw the line at Massachusetts? Lol. If I make a wrong turn and end up in New Hampshire am I going to have to reevaluate my fruits and vegetables?

Oh, Massachusetts was behind them being classified as a vegetable but not a fruit for tax reasons.
