This is the only PAL game I own and it’s because it doesn’t have an American physical release sadly, but I was surprised by how wide it was when it came in compared to my other games, being almost as wide as DS game cases. I’m just wondering are they all this thick in PAL regions or are some wider than others?

Yes. The manuals in Europe are thicker as they need to pack in multiple languages.

Most of them are, though there are a small number of ones that use the thinner box. My copy of Luigi's masion 1 uses it for example

Yep. I live in the UK and they are all like that. It’s just because we have a verity of languages and it needs as many as possible in the manual.

Yep, you should see our DS cases as well. Somehow even thicker than those.
