GB means Great Britian.
They have them on their cars when they leave Great Britian and go to another country.
Some cars have GB on their registration plate - It is just how they are made. Although you can pay to have a GB sticker there.
Some cars don't have them because they haven't left Great Britian yet, so there is no need for one.

A UK registered vehicle has to display the appropriate national identification letters on the vehicle and any caravan or trailer you are towing. The approved pattern is oval with black letters on a white background and size (eg GB) at least 175mm by 115mm.
UK registration plates displaying the GB Euro symbol (Euro Plates) became a legal option from 21 March 2001, but they must comply with the new British Standard (BS AU 145d). These plates make display of a conventional sticker unnecessary when circulating within the EU.
The use of a GB sticker is advisable outside the EU, even when displayed alongside a Euro Plate, as the authorities in some countries still expect to see a conventional sticker.

It is optional.
If you have the GB lettering within the EU symbol on your registration plates you do not have to display a separate GB plate when visiting other EU member states.

It's an international I.D. badge. When cars from anywhere in Great Britain go abroad they have to carry this badge. Similarly cars from other countries have to carry their own badge when travelling in another country - "F" for France, "D" for Germany (Deutschland!) etc ! ! !
