I'm not sure what knowing if you're "in any z/OS instance of a SYSPLEX" buys you, but if you want to know:
If you're talking about a programming solution, the name of the SYSPLEX can be gotten from field ECVTSPLX (which is a programming interface). It is also accessible by system symbol &SYSPLEX, so (for example) D SYMBOLS will display it.. There is also IXCQUERY REQINFO=COUPLE,PLEXNAME=xx which gets the same data from a different place. There is likely some other IXCQUERY data that indicates directly "am I in a sysplex". Personally, I'd go with fetching the field from the ECVT. A SYSPLEX name of "LOCAL" means that you are not in a sysplex. A sysplex could be a single-system monoplex.
