I think you’re correct that some Swindon made Hondas end up in the USA etc.
And yes it’s probably not only Brexit, causing this but the effect can’t be written off.k
More than just “some” - my understanding is that over half of Swindon’s production goes to North America. If that’s the case it would be daft to contemplate keeping production in the UK when the current Civic ceases.

They made 160000 Civics last year IN Swindon 90% went to EU.
Seems very unlikely to me - given that in 2017 it was reported that “The plant makes the Honda Civic hatchback and ships the model to global markets. Outside of Europe, exports are mainly destined for North America. This year, some 50% of the plant’s production is headed for markets outside of Europe.” Honda’s most recent statement (regarding the current closure plans) included the following bullet points :
“Production is currently exported to over 70 countries
Production % split: UK 15％/ Europe 20％/ North America 55% / Japan 8% / Others 2%)”Also bearing mind Honda sold 43,000 Civics in Europe last year (and a fair proportion of those were made in Turkey), it’s difficult to see how 90% of 160,000 went to the EU…
