If it's the latter, then would they be classified as geniuses of some sort? And is the ability to raise kids to the level of math they need to have powers the main roadblock that prevents other countries from getting espers?

The latter yes- Most of the stronger Espers (Level 4 and 5) have rather insane computing skills, but I think this depends on the type of abilities- The most common calculation intense ability that we know so far are the teleportation skills, but every other Espers has been shown to be a 'genius' in some form. A Level 1 Uiharu is one of the best hackers in the entire Academy City.
No, the main roadblock preventing other countries is simply technology and technique.
