In the game the word "determination "isn't linked to the will to achieve goals,it been literally stated outloud that determination "is the will to live on "in the true lab.This is a "power"not a trait ,a power that every single living and concious being have.Its not exclusive to red souls.Also the others childreen had more determination than anyone(likely because they were facing death ),that why they had the power to recept as implied by Toriel"Every time a human fall here,i have an impression i already knew them".Which means that determination doesnt become a trait if anyone have more it than others traits.And i dont think that the recept power is related in any way with the barrier,after all Frisk can use this power even when they leaved the underground,even when the barrier is broken(true pacifist).So no its isnt exclusive to the underground and its not suprising that Flower possess more determination than anyone else in the world,after all he has more determinarion than the amalgamates ,the ones who have "too much determination".

PS:If anythimg its is HEAVILY implied that red soul doesnt have any trait by the ball game,where its says "its a hole"in red.This is the single time that the charattor use red text in neutral or pacifist run and i dont think its a coincidence.I mean this is the single time when different colours are associated with traits ,so the "hole"is associated with the red souls.Which means that they lack of trait.But when Frisk use "perseverance ,kindness,etc"they develop their own trait,which is unknown for us,that why the why by using all the traits they literally "win the ball game",in others words they develop their own trait.Thats why also the "ball game"is associated with the red colour,because the whole ball game was about Frisk developing their own trait.But i dont think we must take it literally,its seems to be a methaphor of Frisk developing their own personality trait in the whole game
