Yes, you can access it at $record->most_specific_subdivision->iso_code. There may be more than one level of subdivisions for a location; if you want something other than the most specific, use ->subdivisions instead. The value is only the second half of the ISO 3166-2 code, i.e., after the -. If you want the 3166-1 prefix, you will have to get that from $record->country->iso_code.
