Every school has a disciplinary systems, some are lax with rules others are not. See: Marimite, their school too requires girls to 'behave' in a poised and refined manner but does any girl there gives you the impression that she is role playing. No, everyone there had distinctive attitude/personalities.
Same goes for Gloriana and Saunders. Darjeeling has a smart, calm, refined, ladylike like personality. Assam has to the point precise/straightforward personality. OrangePekoe is downright worrywart Moe and Rosehip as you said is the brash one (also, I haven't read any of the manga edition but when Darjeeling said disciplinary lessons for Rosehip there could be many reasons for that other than just her brash behavior, like Rosehip not exactly following orders or messing up something, I mean this would be so like her.)
Similarily in Saunders- Kay is loud, easygoing, fun-loving, charming and almost tom-boyish commander. Naomi is no-nonsense and Arisa is a mean tsundere.
I don't think their personalities are an 'act' in any way. But Darjeeling does seem to be inspired by the British culture like Shinobu in Kinmoza is with blondes. But then this is also a part of her own quirkiness.
Welp, that is some long meta-analysis lol. But yeah I never got the impression that any of the country themed schools is role playing in GuP.
