I obviously can't speak for all seccomp users, but libseccomp handles this by checking the seccomp_data->arch value at the start of the filter and killing (by default) any non-native architectures. If you want, you can change this default behavior or add support for other architectures (e.g. create a filter that allows both x86-64 and x32 but disallows x86, or any combination of the three for that matter).
