If a screen reader user encounters a button with aria-expanded="true" are
they more likely to think that that button controls the content just before
it in code order, or just after it in code order? This is without
experimenting with the button and assumes that there is content both before
and after the button, and that the button was not toggled to "true" by the
user.

They will assume that the expanded / collapsed state refers to the content after the button.

Definitely it'd be the content after.
If you use role="group" and aria-labelledby pointing to the id of the
button the user would know either way (role="region" is a better fit
if you go with the spec but role="group" has better a.t. support).
