Reserve pilots are required to cover both, tho I think in the case of SNA, they'll show you starting out in LAX, and limoed out to SNA.
No other SoCal airports are treated like that.

A few lines (soon to be trips with PBS) are built starting and ending out of SNA for the LAX base.

If you acknowledge a reserve trip out of SNA, you may need to call them to arrange the limo. Most of the folks who live south of LAX would rather just drive to (and park) at SNA.

On reserve at LAX, they technically only have to report to LAX. The company will limo them to wherever.
As a reserve pilot in LA, I got limo’d to BUR, SNA, SAN (a lot!). I’ve seen ONT as well. In one example, I even saw a 130am limo to LAS to operate a LAS-SEA flight. That one wasn’t a rsv assignment, it was a trip made into regular opentime and picked up by a lineholder.

However, the original trips that are built to be bidded on from month to month will either start and finish out of LAX (the VAST majority), or SNA.

Yep, on Reserve they can do whatever they want, limoing you from LAX to SNA, and all those other satellite airports, in addition to cobbling up whatever other weird trip they need to, and dropping it in Open Time if necessary in order to keep our metal moving.

PBS might make it possible to get an SNA trip inadvertently... if you're a commuter or live in Ventura, might want to filter those out of your bid.

True.... If you're LA based, but never ever want to have to start a trip out of SNA, you'd better remember to filter it out of your bid each and every month to avoid getting a nasty surprise.
