I think it depends on the physics. Some have privileged points, some don't.

But surely given any scheme to assign addresses in an infinite universe, for every L there's a finite bubble of the universe outside of which all addresses are at least L in length?

If a universe is tiled with a repeating pattern then you can assign addresses to parts of the pattern, each an infinite number of points.

I don't know how this applies to other universes.
