I have also wondered about these kinds of large scale local asymmetries. I.e. "how do we know distant galaxies aren't made of antimatter?" There is a paper by prokhorov published in physical review D in 2015 which was able to set some limits based on signatures of proton-antiproton annihilation. They claim no such asymmetries over a 20 megaparsec distance scale.

I'm not an expert, but isn't that because we don't observe gamma rays from matter-antimatter annihilation in between the galaxies?
