The "Greek Gods" lived on Mount Olympus, but they "went" everywhere that the Ancient Greeks went & lived. So if there were Ancient Greeks living in India or China, then there was probably a temple to some Greek God there somewhere. According to http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/Dionysos.html Dionysus hung out in India for awhile. And this shows that statues of Eros were recently discovered in China http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/health/ancient-chinese-statues-belong-to-greek-god-of-love-says-archaeologist_100283100.html

In Greece and Aphrodite was born in Cyprus. Well you can say its the same.

As a follower of the Theoi, I don't believe that they literally lived on the Mount Olympus in Greece. :) I see the myths as symbolic stories, and while some of the tales may give a nod to actual historical facts here and there, I don't see them as literal, factual accounts. IMO the Theoi are wherever their followers are. One does not need to go to Greece or even be Greek to call upon them and honor them. They currently have followers worldwide. :)
