As an ex-Brit, now colonial, I can tell you that this is a British word.
Colonials don't usually utter the term "wonky". 

There is the term "wonk" which originally used to mean "nerd" but has
been morphed into "expert, but in a really specialized or nerdy area".
It can also refer to people specialized in political spin. In
Washington, the term "wonkmeister" is sometimes used to mean someone
particularly important in spinning stories for the political machine.
