Chances are the short code is the SMS aggregator or 2FA service they're using. Google turfs up some spam complaints for that number, so it's probably their aggregators standard US shared number. Twilio or whoever.
Most aggregators have a selection of short codes, internationally. Same goes for the more popular SMS enabled services - they'll have a short code shared for all their customers. Now in most countries that 2FA text will have a customer chosen text senderID eg "eBay Authorization" by the service, and short codes saved for when the service needs to handle incoming texts. USA and Canada insist on numeric sender ID so using a short code is more common. Outside the US you never get to know it's a shared aggregator or service, and probably can't reply to it.
Shared codes are common, mainly because of the cost and lack of availability. US is, from memory, somewhere around $1k a month for a random number, potentially quite a bit more if it's a 4 digit or word association. USA and Canada stand out as the difficult/expensive ones globally for SMS.
Not uncommon at all.
